    I have butterflies in my stomach even writing about this because it is so frightening to think about what it could mean. I am having more frequent stuffiness in my good ear. That increased frequency seemed to coincide with the start of taking anti-virals. Has that timing happened to anyone else? Any insight about it?

    Have you noticed any change in your bad ear? Anytime my bad ear starts to clear after it had been full for a long time, my good ear always feels pressure for a while. I am not sure why but I guess I am not used to my bad ear feeling clear so it creates a perception of pressure in the good ear? Just my guess. I am also currently on antivirals and had clearing in my bad ear, but my good ear feels a lot of pressure.

    Interesting. My bad ear did seem pretty good yesterday, and I wondered if that made me notice the good ear doing badly more than I might have otherwise. But I do know there have been many, many other times my bad ear has improved, and good ear has not been a problem--both before and after the AVs.

    My bad ear is definitely clear better since the start the AVs. It does still stuff up sometimes, but less often and when it clears, it clears more fully (which is so fantastic). My tinnitus has overall been mellower since taking the AVs, too. I don't have the vertigo portion of MM. I think I recall that is the same for you.
