For years I have had the ear congestion, ear ringing, off balance along with sinus issues could this be part of Lyme or is it something different?
My ENT says sinus infection ( he isn't familiar with Lyme) and put me on clindamycin.
All allergy test negative. Its miserable any suggestions.
Tks, phyl

phyl - please look at mold as a possible answer.
I cannot see or smell mold in my house, but when I tested with an ERMI test our numbers are off the charts. On a scale of -10 to 20... we are a 20.02
The one that most often causes sinus problems is mucor amphibiorium.
-------------------- May health be with you!
Toxic mold was suppressing our immune systems, causing extreme pain, brain fog and magnifying symptoms. Four days after moving out, the healing began. Posts: 2007 | From NY/VT Border | Registered: Aug 2010

Interesting that he put you on clindamycin. That's the abx I take to treat Lyme. When I first started the clinda, I went around the clock, 150mg every 6 hours. Then dropped back to 150mg/day after a month.
I guess watch your symptoms and see if you feel any better. Yes to sinus congestion and ear ringing with Lyme.
My sinuses cleared out when I drank mangosteen juice. If you try it, go slowly and drink water too.
I stopped my ear ringing for 6 hours at a time by holding a coil of a PEMF machine that was clicking electromagnetic bursts several times a second -
that boosts our electromagnetic energy that we're deficient in. An LLMD thought it might have quieted down the nerves.
