#symptoms of an ear infection

[introvert-celeste]

My cat Sirius isn't eating and I'm worried 😟 He's elderly (11, almost 12, years old) and not eating is a bad sign at his age. I'm hoping he's just not feeling good and that he'll get better, but at his age, I'm not sure.

If I had a nickel for every time I went to urgent care/the ER on a Saturday after trying to put off medical care, got treatment, and then had to go BACK to urgent care/the ER the following Monday because my symptoms were inexplicably getting worse, I'd have two nickels.

Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice on two consecutive fucking weekends

anyway I know I keep venting a lot and then acknowledging in the tags of those posts that I've been venting a lot on here lately but once again it is worth taking into account that I'm in severe pain, am having to deal with knowing we're going to have to spend most (if not all) of our savings on the treatment for that, am also experiencing medication side effects such as constantly feeling like I'm going to throw up and experiencing spasms in my fucking lungs that mean I can't breathe properly and have to take another medication that makes me feel even worse, am still experiencing ear infection symptoms like random stabbing pain and completely losing my balance and having green puss leaking out of my ears despite me being on antibiotics for nearly a week (and this is still significantly better than I felt before taking them), and my medical phobias have been fucking me up so badly our brain split 2 new alters within the last week mostly just to stop me having panic attacks on a daily basis so now I only have them every couple of days instead, so I think maybe the amount of venting is understandable

I clearly had covid at some point recently because yesterday I tried to eat a packet of salt and vinegar crisps and they tasted like there had been some kind of toxic chemical spill at the factory, today I ordered more to make up for it and they were the same, at which point I made lewis try one and confirm they taste normal so it's something with my taste and then I sniffed a bottle of rice vinegar and it smelled the same way. literally like burnt rubber and nail polish remover to me.

at least it's just vinegar and not anything I'd eat more often but it's literally making me question reality when my brain is just making up this smell/taste out of nowhere?? did anyone have anything similar and did it get better. because idt I can live without salt and vinegar crisps or balsamic vinegar or sushi!!
