Thank you to all the generous spirited listers who replied to my wife's 
problem.
  The good news is that the pain disappeared within 4 hours, although she felt 
a few
  twinges for about another 4 hours...and then forgot about the ear.
  She just used the CS about 6 times.
   
  Isn't a strange quirk of human nature that CS has to prove itself every time 
when you use it,
  even though it has produced near miraculous results in its use time & time 
again!!

  I must confess that I've sat back when other listers have asked for help in 
the past expecting
  someone else to answer & there has been little or nothing by way of response. 
Then at other times
  there has been almost an avalanche of responses.

  I wonder if we have more time on the weekend to relax & peruse the list more 
completely, and also respond!?
  It appears to me to be a lot more mails happening on the weekend...what think 
ye?
  Anyway, thanks all, have a great weekend!
  Rob

  Subject: CS-Ear infection


  Hi!
  My wife has an ear infection. The Doctor prescribed an antibiotic which she 
is unwilling to take due to previous unpleasant experiences with thrush.
  Apart from taking an increased dose of oral CS, has anyone any experience in 
placing CS directly
  in the ear. As a rough guess I would say that it would be safe and effective. 
If you can place it directly in the eyes
  then its use for ears should be effective and safe?
  We use a home brewed CS which is around 10ppm.
  Anyone help!
  Thanks, Rob
