Hello, are your symptoms positional? I have something similar but it only takes place when I lie down and then for the rest of the night. The pain is very, very intense and I'm conscious of it the entire time I'm sleeping. When I get up it begins to wear off and can take close to an hour. But it is only on one side, only positional, and centered just above and around the top of my ear. If I touch my ear at the point of attachment to my head, that really hurts and even if I turn my head I reproduce that pain in my ear. Thank you so much for sharing your story
and I wish you all the best, Sunnyflower
