DEAR KIM: MY EAR PAIN MYSTERIOUSLY WENT AWAY ALSOMST AS MYSTERIOUSLY AS IT

STARTED. MY DENTIST DID SAY THAT I HAD SOME EVIDENCE OF TMJ, BUT NOT

ANYTHING OUTRAGEOUS. I HAVE NOT HAD MY TEETH SHAVED DOWN OR A NIGHT GUARD

MADE UP AS OF YET.

I DID HOWEVER, USE A HEATING PAD AND HEATED MY EARS NIGHTLY FOR ABOUT THREE

WEEKS. THIS WAS AT THE SUGGESTION OF MY ACCUPUNTURIST. I ALSO HAD

ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENTS FOR IT. I DON'T KNOW IF THESE AIDED IN MY RECOVERY OR

NOT. I DO ONCE IN A WHILE COMPLETELY OUT OF THE BLUE EXPERIENCE BAD EAR PAIN

FOR A FEW MOMENTS, AND THEN IT JUST UPS AND GOES AWAY. I AM STILL NOT

COMPLETELY CONVINCED THAT THIS IS NOT M.S. RELATED, ALTHOUTH THE

NEURO-ONTOLOGIST I SAW SAID THAT IT WAS NOT NERVE RELATED.

GOOD LUCK, I KNOW IT IS INSANITY MAKING!

REGARDS;

LESLIE
