Stinky Feet Disease

[Doityourselfer]

   I decided to get out for a brisk walk early this morning to help wake up.  It was still a bit cool and very windy.  I do love a nice breeze and don't mind a slight chill, but my ears can't seem to handle even a soft whisper of wind.  First the outside of the ear starts burning in a way that ones chest sometimes does if they have not run in quite awhile.  Then this horrible and peircing ache develops on the inside or inner ear.  When I'm running the chest relaxes and well my legs just seem to go numb once I get a good pace down.  The ears proceed to take over my entire head and even stomache.  My vision becomes blurry, but I can still see far enough in front of me.  I can't think straight at all or maybe even think period past trying to pay attention to what's directly infront of me.  My face overall seems to go numb and paralyzes itself, so basically I'm walking expressionless at this point with flaming ears if you can picture that.  Last but not least a quarter to half way through my walk I get nauseous, yet the majority of the time can focus enough on what's ahead to get home before completely curling into a flaming numb ball of pain.  Once I get in I usually have to lie or sit down for a moment to over-come the dizzies and nausea and then a hot shower usually cures and defrost the ears.  This morning hubby warned me the hot water was gone at that moment so a pillow and blanket wrapped around my head cured my equilibrium wind issue this particular morning.

     I no longer run to the doctor for this problem because all have said that it is most likely due to the fact that I grind my teeth while I sleep and am aware I've done this since I was a child.  They also blame my weight to an extent.  While most my age are battling the bulge I am in my thirties downing three or more ensures/day as well two or three meals to prevent losing the little of my boobs, butt, and thighs that are left.  Unlike most I tend to not be able to eat when stressed, but even when not would say I am naturally a skinny person that likes to eat, but not as much as many I've found.  In high school I would purposely over-eat and work out while most girls were starting to watch what they ate to keep up with the hour glass figures as well keep up in physical activities I was in.  Has not gone as well or should say not as easy since becoming a mother. 

      I have been content with the diagnoses to my problem as well accepted it until this last year when my pre-teen developed what I now call stinky feet disease.  Since he's developed this disease and I'm beginning to consider it a probable life-threatening disease if you live here and causes me all the same symptoms as my ear problem above.  I will say you do not need a breeze nor even a fan to catch wind and these horrible symptoms if you step foot in my house right now.  At first I resorted to making him leave the shoes outside and washing his feet when he came in, then socks, lysol, febreeze, bleach......trying to fight/kill this disease.  At least with the outside ear problem I can do the earplug or ear muff/hat thing and even if I do look like a complete dork doing so in the spring and summer.  Trying to fumigate this childs feet, shoes, socks, room, and now what seems to be any room or car he steps into daily and at every moment he's around is totally dragging me down man.  Is it still cool to say that?

     I ran out of bleach last week, so thought what the heck and threw his socks in with the light clothes.....They all came out of the drier smelling like his stinky feet disease!  I would invest in odor eaters but the child complains of his socks making all his shoes and "mine" too tight, so doubt he'll keep them in there.  Another mother I met last week that seem to be familiar with this disease told me to get rid of the socks period, that her opinion is that they make this disease worse anyway.  I took my daughter out on our trampoline earlier finding a large spread of his stinky and now soiled socks on the ground and wasn't sure if I should pick them up and try to wash/save them or just start a bonfire right then and there.  I opted on bringing them in and only because I was in fear that if I did try and burn them I'd be reported by my neighbors; mind you not for the fire, but the fumes I would be letting out into the environment.  I'm positive the smell would have broken some sort of environmental code. 

     Luckily it did warm up and the wind died down and early enough for my daughter and I to escape to the local park to be free of ear and nose problems for awhile as well enough for me not to have to embarrass her just yet in her early years with my ear muffs on.  Needless to say I am now back and re-washing clothes, saved by a bottle of bleach that I really do hate having to use, but alas have found no other cure at this point.  I know that Dr. Oz gave a remedy for this on Oprah one day and now wish I would have written it down for I fear also hurting my pre-teen sons self-esteem and feelings with my revolting reaction symptoms and attitude towards a disease he can not help and/or do nothing about himself.  If anyone did take the time to write the remedy down "please share".....now I must suit up and find a breathing mask to fumigate his room before we all pass out for few would have the courage or nose to step in to save us if I don't.
