I'm also having a hearing test tomorrow to see how bad my left ear has got (it's been getting progressively worse for a while now), so that'll be interesting......

Migraines...
Anyone out there every have them? I didn't think I ever had, but it turns out that a weird nagging ear ache i've been having over the last few years, may actually be a migraine. I saw a nice neurologist today, who admitted he wasn't sure, but from everything he said it actually totally made sense. Really painful (one sided) ear ache that only lasts a few hours, then disappears and might not reappear for a month. No headache though, so it hadn't even occurred it might be a migraine. They've been happening more frequently, so I finally went and saw an ENT, who sent me to a neurologist. Initially I thought I was being given the run around, but the guy this morning seemed really thorough. So I have two pills, take one next time it comes up, if it does something it's a migraine, if it doesn't it's probably something else. Try it twice, reevaluate.

My migraines were diagnosed through an opthamologist. I didn't have headaches, but I started having blurred peripheral vision (the first time was on an airplane which scared the heck out of me). Anyway, I eventually started getting headaches, usually just on one side. The peripheral vision thing (called the "aura") always happens before the headache so I pop a Tylenol Rapid-release and that usually prevents the headache or makes it much milder.
I hope your pills work! Pain is so mysterious... especially when it is intermittent.
