Anyone? Gets worse when I walk around. Hurts, pressure in the ear.

Blood pressure is fine. I do however have "glue ear" miscommon for adults to get, but alas, I have sticky ear infection. HAHA

Lnked to bartonella? This red ear thing? They actually BURN.

Thanks

There's a specific ear thing from Lyme etc called Borrelial Lymphocytoma.

Does it look like this? (click on pix to enlarge)

my son's ears would get red, particularly in the evening... not all the time

He has lyme and babesia

Circus,

Yep, thats a what it looks like. Its not swollen or nothing, and definately not purple but it sure is fiery red and it hurts like HE**

My son used to get this, sometimes only in one ear. I always associated it with his food allergies.

One of the first things Dr. Jones noticed in my grandson were his red ears....apparently fairly common to see in kids with lyme. He had no coinfections!

Better that than a red nose, I guess!

I get this occasionally too. Feels like the flush that you get when you take Niacin.
I put cold compresses on them and it helps.

Be well,

I used to get this all the time too. Didn't hurt, though.

Are you doing better now, Jodie??

Every afternoon I get the red hot ears. sometimes disrupting my vision even worse than usual. Nice bit of ear pressure too. Really gives you that "sick" feeling.
