Guest guest Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Hi Ctoma group. Glad to find you. I've had 2 removal surgeries with the last one also receiving prosthetic bones. My hearing is not restored. I now have a hole that will not heal & the prosthetic is coming thru it. My ENT said I can go to a " super-specialist " if I want to have the hole closed, otherwise just to leave the hole... which offers drainage ability, like with tubes... but without the plastic. Doc observed the hole and did a recheck 6 weeks later. it's not healing and in fact, getting worse. He suggested to just watch it and said to come back in a year. A YEAR???!!!!???!!! I'm not comfortable with leaving it for a year. Also, it's unsettling bc my ENT said that he was " freaked out " during my 2nd surgery, bc he was able to see a lot more damage done by the Ctoma, that he could not see in the first surgery due to swelling. I've learned that this is due to chronic life-long infections (as indicated by amount of scarring), so I've now turned to learning about prevention. I have found that foods I've always eaten are causing the infections. I can feel a bunch of fluid within hours after eating chicken, eggs, turkey and milk. (I've always had hearing loss, never felt pain or infections until after my surgeries.) Wondering if anyone else in this group is taking a natural path to healing this problem. WHAT HAVE YOU TRIED AND WHAT ARE YOUR RESULTS??? Currently, I have been taking Exsula " Premium " superfood for my multi- vit, Exsula " Strata-Flora " for my probiotic and also Exsula " EllagiPlex " to stop abnormal cell production. Since taking these once daily, I have had no abnormal cell accumulation (per my ENT who viewed thru the hole in my ear). A friend has also encouraged me to use 35% food grade H2O2 (her family, with school-age kids, hasn't been sick once in the 3 years they've used it)... so I began that today as well. anxious to hear from anyone. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
