I finally have some answers to things that have been going on with me medically.

I have minor sleep apnea and the sleep study specialist recommended a CPAP, but the ENT surgeon decided that he wants me to try to take my tonsils out to see if that helps with the apnea before going on a CPAP, especially because I am worried about my bipolar making the CPAP hard to clean regularly. He also said he'd like me to repeat the sleep study after removing them.

The ear issues could be from my adenoids, which also will be taken out. Because they are large, swollen, and red, it can cause problems with the Eustachian tubes in my ears, causing me pain and increasing the risk of infection. My ears have been a problem for so long.

I also have a hair in my ear again causing crackling and after seeing how panicked that made me he's going to clean my ears under anesthesia since he'll be putting me out anyway

SO SO NICE to finally have answers! This is a step in the right direction.
