I've been researching my illness symptoms for dates and treatments and have odd ones that I'd like input on whether they could be associated.
1. I have a spot in my ear I could point to today, if I could physically, inside canal on outside of eardrum it feels like an infection, a sore.
At onset, I used peroxide. I slowly lost hearing as if I had my hand over my ear or I was under water. Doc gave me antibiotics, no help with hearing.
I went to an ear doctor and he removed what he called a scab from my ear drum. It was thick, clear to translucent white like hardened model glue. He said he had never seen anything like it and was shocked that this was the first time I had something like this.
I guess some people are prone to an ear wax buildup. Not me. I still know/feel exactly the spot in my ear.
2. TMI, but curious.... A #2 bowel movement that was physically similar to normal but completely white.

I've never taken an anti-diarrheal drug. The first thing i thought was worms. I actually took Rid-X. But that was the only one time. So since then i have wondered it if was that piece of gum swallowed seven years ago.
No connection between Lyme to ear infections or abscesses?

Ear infection yes.
Lyme derailed my immune system and have been fighting a 'stinky ear' for many many years.
It is a fungus that is literally eating the ear canal.
Seems to be resistant to every prescribed med and otc product so far.
Vivid dreams yes. I noticed an increase when I was taking rifampin for bartonella.
Have always dreamed vividly in colour, but the rifampin dreams were violent.

I've had three dreams that should be made into horror flick movies. One involves time travel and teams working to solve how to make the end of the world not happen, tortured prisoner living out the same stressful resolutionless end hours over and over. The others were part one and part two series similar to that jigsaw movie Saw with terrorists killing with superhuman well planned attacks, carrying weapons of every type of destruction. I'm not the bad guy. I'm not the good guy saving the day, just not capable although I try. I'd say I'm living these out every day Steve.

I remember seeing white bm subject on a Dr Oz show. He said it's usually a blocked bile duct caused by something, so you need to see a doctor (don't wait).

Thanks GretaM. The nagging ear issue could be fungus. I've taken so much antibiotics and my immune system is stressed, just about every opportunist thing could invade easily. Have you tried peroxide, iodine, or poke root (last two were suggestions from Lymie_in_md )? Peroxide did not help me based in the thing I had to pay a doctor a few hundred dollars to pull out of my ear canal. The place of infection is still there, nagging away.
Thanks catgirl. It was only one white BM. As rare as Moby Dick. If it wasn't yeast, fungus, or worms, why couldn't it be a passing blocked bile duct? I'll see about running liver test screening on my next PCP appointment.
