Leslie:

Yes, my ear (unaffected side) has been clogging up, popping, etc.  At first
I blamed the PD.  Now I'm discovering it's a deep sinus infection.

I believe our immune systems get tired at times from fighting the PD, and
that makes us more exposed to things like sinus infections and the like.

I wish you the best.

Bill

I am 53 and was diagnosed with PD 1 1/2 years ago.  I have this wierd thing
that I am constantly going through the motions of clearing my ears.  It is
worse when I am tired or under a little stress.  I am on Mirapex and my
stiffness and mobility are slightly decreasing  at times.  I'm still at the
stage where my symptoms don't effect me much.  Just hold my left arm stiff
while walking or running and poor typing and dexterity with my left hand.
So, I feel it's time to talk to the Dr. about an increase and/or change of
medication.  My main symptom is a crooked smile.  Has anyone had this
problem with their ears?
