trouble with ear when flying

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

Does anyone else have this

problem when flying – actually my problem is when the plane is descending.

And only one ear. Apparently my one ear doesn’t “pop”,

and it is excruciatingly painful, to say the least. I’d rather have

a baby! I’ve tried chewing gum, I’ve tried holding my

nose and blowing, I’ve tried “ear planes”, and regular ear

plugs, and pretty much everything else. Nothing alleviates the pain, I

just sit there and cry like a baby. Does anyone have any

suggestions? I have to fly to my nephew’s wedding in November and I’m

dreading it.

Thanks, Carol
