There's a truth if ever I heard one. Doctors...GP's anyway often don't really care enough to suggest or do anything. I'm sure there are exeptions but i guess 20 years of seeing people with a spot on their nose who think it's cancer could probably take the flavour of the job away.
I'd ask to see a specialist but you know how it is...after arguing for 2 hours as to why you want to, the appointment made is dated the year after.
The wiggling of the tongue thing
is pretty hard to explain but it's to create similar conditions to a yawn.
So do your ears ever ache when you've been flying? or did they once before you got used to it?
