Vertigo, Energy Scans, and Ear Infections: A Story About Trusting Intuition and Getting Answers

Story time!

If you have ever experienced vertigo you might understand a bit about what my man just went through.

I haven’t ever had vertigo but he described it as, “Remember in college when you’d get drunk and the room would be spinning? Yeah, it’s that but without the buzz.”

We don’t drink anymore but we can both remember back to the wildest of times where the world had indeed spun.

I distinctly remember when I was in Scotland returning from the pub with friends, singing the ‘500 miles’ song horribly as we entered the yard of the castle we were staying at and – 

Let’s move on :)

He was experiencing such bad vertigo that he couldn’t go to work for days, couldn’t drive, couldn’t even keep food down, he was so nauseous from being dizzy. He had pain in his head and jaw, and his ears hurt.

First thing I thought was “something deeper is going on”. I was also drawn to candle his ears (thank you intuition).

There are mixed opinions on ear candling. I am not surprised that there are mixed opinions. I think you can’t knock it till you try it. I personally think it’s the only effective way for me to feel relief in my ears if they are bugging me (esp. If I get sick or have an ear infection) and my body really likes the support.

I also have great success with Garlic Mullein oil in the ears as a wax softener and a natural remedy.

My experience has been awesome with them and with my best friend trained in professionally offering them, we’ve candled our ears safely many times.

I am not giving medical advice and I am not saying that ear candling cures anything. I am simply sharing that I have felt great relief after turning to them for help.

So I candled his ears and it helped. I also was pulled to do some pressure points and lymphatic work on his head which helped too!

Time to look deeper.. I read his energy and after tuning into him I saw very clearly that he had green goo sitting around his head and face. Like he had congestion of the sinuses and ears. Interesting.

It felt like a representation of his physical state but also felt like the kind of goo that was from something emotional or energetic. It isn’t the first time I’ve seen a visual of something similar and there ended up being some emotions at play. Most commonly, stress.

This isn’t the first time I have used my “medical intuition”. Those of you who have had sessions with me have probably observed me use it with your pets. I do not diagnose and will not give medical advice as I am not a medical professional but I can pinpoint pain and physical sensations of your pets so that you can use that information with a vet or in another way. Their bodies will also suggest to me certain things that will help support their wellness.

I use this type of intuition a lot with my pets and will also utilize muscle testing when it comes to their health and my own.

However when it comes to physical infections, I don’t like to mess around (I think a blend of holistic and western medicine is nice) so I told him that a doctor visit would be ideal to rule out a sinus or ear infection. This would speak to his logical mind rather than blindly trusting my intuition. A healthy dose of discernment is good and he should question things for himself.

After day four of vertigo, he went.

That doctor failed him.

Didn’t check his ears, didn’t ask questions, didn’t listen to him. Didn’t even rule out (or mention) a possible infection which was the reason for the visit. This doctor prescribed him PT for an Epsley maneuver to help with ear crystals.

Later that same day we went to his regular chiro appt and he told them about the vertigo and what the doctor said.

They did the Epsley maneuver on him and showed us what to do if we wanted to repeat it later if needed. It didn’t help.

The next couple of times didn’t help.

This was all during the July 4th weekend where we had a couple family events to go to.

Let’s just say that boats and vertigo don’t mix.

He was so wobbly. Like sooo wobbly.

At this point I was still reluctantly humoring the first doctor's ear crystal idea but I was furious that there was no infection ruled out or even talked about. I was not happy that my loved one was hurting and that he wasn’t getting answers he needed.

My anger was fierce. I think it was so fierce because my intuition was screaming at me and I felt in my gut that he needed to see another doctor. I trust my intuition.

I reminded him of what I saw in his energy, the fact that the ear candles helped and that we still didn’t have other things ruled out.

He understandably was so frustrated and truly wasn’t himself. His whole routine was messed up (behind on work since he’s training in four new people, his gym routine shot to shreds, literally just not being able to go for a walk), relying on others to drive him places, not being able to work.

He was game to see another doctor. The ear crystal idea thrown to the wind.

Thankfully (and I know this, I was still holding frustration over the last one) there are good doctors out there! The one we saw was very kind and helpful, asked many questions, did many tests to rule out certain things, and thank goodness but he actually checked his ears!!

And surprise surprise (and in line with what my gut was saying) his ears were not happy. The doctor also suspected that he had a double whammy and wanted to treat him for a sinus infection too.

It was a quick in and out (not counting the 1.5 hour wait in the lobby), get his prescription to helps his ears and sinus, obviously stop for what we call fancy drinks 💅(Zevia or Oli Pop lol), and go home.

With a more clear and thorough exam and over a busy and tough week of dizziness, we had a new path forward.

He has since felt better and better. He’ll tell me each day “75% 80% 87%” and the vertigo reduced enough for him to go to work.

However, he was still feeling extreme pressure in his ears and his jaw so I offered to candle his ears again.

This time I had my Mullein Garlic oil with me and 👏It 👏Did 👏It’s 👏Job

Let’s just say that he definitely had ear infections and he definitely had compaction. No doubt leading to his vertigo and jaw pain.

He now tells me he’s at 97% lol

Now it’s just making sure to finish the antibiotics and make sure he is eating for wellness to help his body through it.

The other deeper part of it that we looked at was his emotional goo.
Looking at his lifestyle and environment, there was stress. Oodles of it, and all coming from one place. His body felt overloaded. His head feeling the stress and his body reacting as well. His ears were basically saying “I don’t want to hear more voices” and “I don’t want to keep being bothered” and his body lit up with the ear infections.

With a practical switch at his job, he has experienced less stress and his common and often vertigo haven’t been seen since.

Looking back, I truly believe that the stress was the first factor that led the vertigo and ears to revolt, then that stress wasn’t addressed right away and his ears went into full blown ear infections and etc. It’s interesting that the sinuses were getting pissy too because to me that is the body going “this stinks!”.

Ah well, it’s resolved now:)

There are times where our intuition says “here’s what’s going on” and we can choose to trust it or doubt it.

I am so glad I trusted what I saw during the energy scan I did and that I pushed for him to get a second opinion. I’m glad my intuition showed me what help his body was asking for and I’m so grateful to him for trusting me and my Knowing.

There’s that saying, “A woman’s intuition is never wrong.”

Trust yourself, trust your body, trust that you are capable!
