Oof. Glad you are on the better side of it. Thankfully no flu for me this year, but definitely a wacky ear infection that affected my balance along with some also-odd central back muscle tension that also seemed to play with my balance. Took most of January to normalize again and I'm just on daily Flonase to keep nose-to-ear passages as clear as possible. Need to schedule a follow-up appointment. With the Flonase I feel like I've been keeping something worse at bay, which is good, but...I never needed this stuff this long before. Weird year for human health here in the US. Hope it clears up quickly--bad stuff indeed.
