Cell Phone Ear

If you're a Facebook friend, you've already heard about my silly diagnosis, but for everyone else...I have cell phone ear. Apparently this condition is caused by talking on the phone so much that your ear sweats and that moisture gets trapped in your ear canal causing this "cell phone ear." No lie...it is exactly what the doctor said. It's exactly like swimmer's ear...without the fun day at the pool or beach. No, mine is caused from working way too much. The result is one long Labor Day weekend in painful misery. So as we load up the "brand new disease" train with the H1N1, Swine Flu -let us not forget to add this terribly modern ailment. Beware fellow phone users..BEWARE.

Sorry you're still in so much pain. If you get desperate, try putting a couple of drops of room-temp lemon juice in your ear. Ashlyn had an ear ache a couple of weeks ago and couldn't sleep. I tried it out of desperation and it worked like a charm!! No pain within just a few minutes and a peaceful night's sleep for all. Hope you feel better soon!!
