I wrote many months ago about my earface pain/offbalance problem.STILL no diagnosis or help and I have new symptoms.I've finally gotten a referral to a neurologist and would appreciate any feedback,ideas,things to ask about.Sporatic basic neuro exams since this started in April by my internist are normal. Background:in April while working at computer felt strange,like falling into my computer.stood up, felt off balance weird.soon noticed(next day I think) ears hurt. went to doc,said both eardrums retracted, low wbc, probably a virus.Felt deep, burning,sort of itching pain in left cheek.May,ran high fever, chills, left ear pain,palate pain, constant light headedness. took zithromax.soon felt great but within days dizzy,same area low on left cheek,half dollar size, became red, hot, swollen.could not get in todoc, stayed swollen and puffy. went to dentist, found no abcess but a "dead tooth",had root canal.fluid came out of tooth.all pain in face and ear went away-for a while. dizziness remained. had vestibular testing, normal, MRI, normal except"chronic small vesseldisease.Sept. 5 -developed room spinning vertigo, nausea.horrible,lasted hours.went to er- had CT scan. Normal. NEVER ANY NYSTAGMUS either.now have constant almost pain in left ear,cheek,gnawing,deep,itchy.had sinus CT scan,normal.I feel lightheaded almost all the time, brief "spurts" of room spinning,usually when bend forward or tilt head backward.new dental exam,normal.left ear hurts sometimes terribly, always told it'snormal.sometimeshurts to touch inside with a q tip.sore area in mouth left of palate.ANY IDEAS?
