Headaches/Inner ear pressure

[serene1198]

In June of 2007 I was diagnosed with labrynthitis, which if you ask me, has not totally gone away.   Since then I have pressure in the back of my head on the right side (Cerebellum) area.  When the pain gets really bad, I feel alot of pressure in my ear and I lose most of my hearing.  At times stationary objects appear to be moving, and I have dizzy spells (standing/sitting).  There are mornings when I wake up after 8-9 hours sleep, and the room is spinning like I am intoxicated or all the oxygen has been cutoff to my brain.  If I don't get up right away to stop the spinning, I vomit. This only happens when I lay on my back with a  pillow under my neck.  I have explained all this to my neurologist.  I have been for 3 MRI's since November.  The last one being today.  The first MRI was to check the nerves in my middle ear, which were normal.  The MRI showed a cyst in my pineal gland.  The doctor at the MRI center would not issue a report on the second scan because they needed more images. ??  Today was a more detailed scan of the area slightly above my cerebellum, and the pineal gland cyst.  I know I'm not crazy, but I feel that they are somehow connected.  I have never suffered from headaches before.  The pressure pain is always there, and there are times the pain gets so bad I get sick.  During the extreme pain it hurts to chew, cough, or talk.  The pain in the ear causes my eyes to tear.

Lately my tiredness is getting worse.  I can sleep for 8-10 hours and I feel exhausted when I wake up.  I'm a single Mom, and this has really affected my family.  I wish I knew why this was happening.
If anyone can give me a clue, I would really appreciate it.

I have 9mm pineal gland cyst.  I also have ringing in my ears and occasional deep stabbing pain in my ears.  I have lots of other symptoms that I know are related.  I have been pretty normal until very recently.  I am 32 mother of 2 and am scared.  I wonder how you are doing now?
