magwil01, are migraines always involved? What do the ENTs say you are allergic to? I have found that there must be 1,000 different definitions for dizziness. What are doing when you get the warning? Do you take any medications at the moment of the warning? Do you have vertigo? Also, 1,000 different descriptions for this.
Do you lay in a specific position? The fluid in left ear, does it drain, crust, hurt, infected? Are your migraines always left sided with fluid in the ear? What condition is your neck in? Bone spurs, bulging discs, loss/increase in curvature? I find it interesting to see a post like this, in the infectious disease forum, is there a specific reason why?
I have severe complex migraines, just means, left, right, both, neck up back of head, behind either ear. I have constant bzzzzzzz in both ears, then random high pitched narrow pinging that lasts about 15+- minutes, not painful. Then random jolts of dull pain all around one ear at a time, lasts 30 minutes-5+- hours, laying on heat works pretty good. Vertigo, 2 types. Mostly has to do with the way I lay my head down. Until 2 years ago, they only happened at home. Now, it's happened on the X-ray table (2x), same at dentist. I get none to very little warning. When it hits, I must immediately get on the floor, curl up in a ball and grab something that won't move, like headboard, leg of X-ray table, and squeeze my entire body as hard as I can, I have very weak wrists. Get Valium and meclizine in me FAST. it is absolute hell if I move. I will add Doxepin, to help put me to sleep (antidepressant or anxiety I don't remember cuz I don't use it for that reason) Average length is 4-12+- hrs. Gratefully, I am able to put myself to sleep, I could not survive 12 hours if I was awake. When it happens away from home, it freaks everyone out. Because, they don't want me on the floor, " it's not clean "...Like I am thinking about clean. Thank goodness I don't leave the house without my husband and meds and water.
I really am interested in your answers, if you want to share. Shelley
