one thing i find weird ... prior to my diagnosis, the previous year i had 3 broken ear drums on that side only. possibly more, but the doctor found it 3 different times ... the doctor found it weird but did not investigate further just kept shaking her head ... i had no pain from it or anything - i never even knew it was broken until she would find it doing routine checkup at my visits ... now, post surgery that ear feels stuffy but it has not broken the eardrum lol ...
