Dear Shoshy, Many thanks for your interest. As far as I know there has been no contact in Indonesia with organo-phosphoric pesticides. But, I now live in an area surrounded by farms!

Dear Anna, Many thanks for your suggestion about Merc. I am a recent convert to homeopathic medicine. I had a dizzy spell about a month ago. The GP said it was caused by an ear infection. I felt I was toppling over, or felt the room was spinning round when I got up from my bed or lay down. As the doctor couldn't help I tried self prescribing BELLADONA, CALC FLUOR, NAT MUR and SILICEA. I got better immediately and have had no recurrence.
The OTOSCLEROSIS runs in the family, on my father's side. I noticed my hearing was not so good back about 1992 (in my forties).A specialist in London diagnosed OTOSCLEROSIS and reccommended a hearing aid, which helps.
I think it is bilateral hearing loss. I don't hear so well in crowded rooms with background noise.
I've tried RHUS TOX for a sore shoulder and it has apparently helped.
I welcome all suggestions!!!
