Hey hun. Sounds like you've been having quite a stressful few weeks! I can't reccomend any specific remedies for your ear or cold sores, but I think the biggest thing for you to get healthy again is to start getting more sleep. I'm an on again off again insomniac, so I've perfected several techniques. The most important thing is to get yourself calm and relaxed. It's actually better to take two hours to get relaxed and then go to bed as opposed to trying to sleep right away. The rest you do get is more... I don't know, replenishing..? Either way it's better for you. Once I'm in bed and relaxed (you could read a book, take a long bath, paint, whatever you want to get relaxed), then I take a few deep breaths and starting with the muscles on my scalp slowly concentrate on and relax every muscle in my body. This usually takes about half an hour. If you keep up the deep breathing you're usually asleep by the time you're done. It's also great for those of us with muscle aches/back pain to get everything untensed on a daily basis. Hope that helps a bit, and hope you feel better soon!
