does anyone get ear pain?
Wed, 02/22/2006 - 13:10Topic: New to Epilepsy.com
i first started out with the fatigue, left arm and face go numb. now both arms get pain in them. and now left arm gets a cold, frozen like feeling, my left eye gets alot of pressure behind it and on bad episodes i get spinal pain and like a burning sensations from my neck all the way down. in the last few months i get a really bad ear pain. and now its in both ears. its like someone poking me with a sharp object in my ear. is this normal? the dr's had no clue. geesh. im just trying to figure out if these seizures are being caused by something else other than in the brain? does that make sense? im seeing another dr for a nerve test next..thank you all for your time..

YES I DO...I have not been diagnosed. But I swear I am having some type of seizures. Have been for about 2 years now. Finally have insurance & am seeing a neurologist at The Harbin Clinic in Rome Georgia & am scheduled for a cta today, eeg 5/9 & then back to see neuro shortly after. But last night I had something happen that has never happened before...when my piercing "migraine" that I have been told my headaches are hit me it came with facial numbness & when I say facial numbness I mean my entire face went numb & it still is tingling a bit this morning...going on 15 hours like this. So I called the neuro & they told me to come to the er closet to them..I did. A ct was ran. No major problems so I was sent home. I came home, laid down in bed took my meds & believed I had a seizure. My head started to shake like a booble head, right hand tremored, right ear ached, right upper arm hurt like crazy, I started to cry & stare then my head absolutely killed me. Then as quickly as it came it left & I feel asleep & woke this morning with a massive headache dizzy feeling very weak & nauseated. So sick of this & ready for answers. God help me...my husband left me because this has caused a wide range of problems. We are not divorcing...Just living in separate houses. Damn this thing...I just want answers & help. I know this is not a migraine. I will not accept that as an answer. A migraine will not make your head bobble like it is on a dash of a big rig...or will it??

I get ear pain to. My face stays num all the time, sometime it goes down to my left arm and leg and my left arm and leg tingles. My Dr. says the tingling is something else and doesn't have anything to do with seizures. My left ear starts hurting and my left eye gets very blurry. I have been to an ear Dr. and no one knows it also rings all the time. I don't know what to do either but it is anoying. I am on the max on meds and its still not doing any good.
