Guest guest Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 Carey, I had described this to my doctors while in the hospital. I never got an answer. The only time I feel pressure now is in the hours leading up to one of my "intense" headaches. I never felt "pressure" in the ears, I get it in the eyes. This same pressure will remain throughout the course of the headache, but will be the lesser of the two evils. Hoping you get better, Kirk. head pressure Has anyone ever suffered from major head and ear pressure? Could this be caused by the steroids? I'm having a horrible time with this! It isn't like a headache. It is constant pressure, especially if I bend over or lean down my head feels like it is going to explode?Just hanging in there.....wwwCareywww Visit the Still's Disease Message Boardhttp://disc.server.com/Indices/148599.htmlThe materials and information contained in this message are not intended to replace the services of a trained health professional or to be a substitute for medical advice of physicians and/or other health care professionals.

The are not the headaches pre-stills. I do feel it in every bone of my skull included the ones surrounding my ears the worse! Goodluck. If I explode, you can all have a piece of the explosion - sure you'd get lots on ebay for the relic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
