Hello januaryjane, I do have flare in my hands, face, and ears from time to time. Usually they are in my feet. My symptoms have improved since I began taking Mexiletine. But I have found that certain foods, conditions, and stress/illness can still trigger flares.

I get strong burning in my face and a pressure in ears that makes me very unsteady. I have taken to walking with a cane. I also burning over my entire body, but my face and ears are the worst. I am on 1200 mg of Gabapentin.
