I do not know which came first, but I sure wish there would be a new study on this and other causes of the ear/neck/headache issue. Thought I was inching forward and 3 doc visits this week show me I'm at step 1 again. More tests, more ruling things out while symptoms increase. Seems like 25 years of tests would have answered some questions by now. I heard there is an injection that would be fairly accurate on a yes or no answer for ES so why not give the shot and rule it out? Instead docs need another CT scan, another MRI to rule out Otosclerosis, ETD, atypical Meniere and probably hypochondria. Didn't log on because I thought I would have good news... wonk, wonk... Disappointing!
BTW, I had that spasm, but only one time so I didn't relate it to ES.
