I’ve been searching on this topic for years! I’ve learned to fall asleep cupping my ear with my hand to help relieve the pressure. But as one does while they sleep, I move and then my ear will inevitably start to hurt. I wake up almost nightly with the pain, hopefully before it gets too bad so i can turn. I’ve gone through countless pillows! I have to lift my head off the pillow at a glacial speed or it hurts even worse. Some days my ear will ache or be sensitive to touch for hours after waking up. I don’t think I have the autoimmune disease discussed as I don’t have any of the other symptoms associated. And I don’t have fibromyalgia. I saw one posts about vitamin C&D. Was wondering about dosage though.
