Hi,
Just came across this post – had similar experience.
Treatment: VCD (Velcade Cyclophosphamide Cyclophosphamid)plus four 4 weekly Zoledronic Acid since initial diagnosis August 2021. At present in to cycle six of eight.
Both my partner and I contracted a really nasty infection (cold from my Grandaughter?).
My very first symptom on 1st Dec. Suffered the expected nasty coughing and normal congestion through until the beginning of Jan. I then had an ear infection, which left me with what feels like a block left ear, and seems to be fluid/congestion in within my ear/and cavities. Have been treated with Antibiotics which cleared the infection – but now have very similar symptoms as you.
Feels like blocked ear.
Seems to improve in the morning, but returns once standing again
Balance can be impaired
Crackling sound in the ear
Have been given Steroid Ear Spray – to no avail, and then Steroid nasal spray.
We know the infection was nasty since anecdotal evidence locally, and the fact that my Partner suffered worse than usual, and took longer to recover.
General opinion seems to be it can take 8 weeks or more to clear (if you’re unlucky?)
Mine has slowly improved, but has been with me now for 9 weeks, and off to discuss this with my GP in the next few days.
I hope your clears up much quicker.. but also that this might help allay any nagging worries.
Sensible advice time: do consult your Doctor if worried; mine is simply a layman’s view!
Roger
