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.

Subject: symptom
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?
