Hello @born2write and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. What a relief to have been given a diagnosis as to what you've been experiencing, albeit, it sounds as though the process for getting the diagnosis was stressful.

It is so great that you've joined the discussion after reading the post from @variegata.

Can you share what you are currently doing to help your symptoms?

So far, I have started a magnesium supplement. My spells are infrequent right now, so it is hard to say if it is helping. Once I have a spell it can go on for hours and disrupt my sleep, so I am researching ways to quell or stop the spasms once I have another bad spell. Before the diagnosis I was putting heat on my knees (arthritis) and had an idea to heat up my finger and place it inside the ear canal. It seemed to help! I'll try that again if the magnesium doesn't stop the spells altogether. Time will tell.
