Lately I been having this weird face symptom, but it
only happens on the right side of my face. Feels
like my face is twitching and like sometimes I feel
like I'm about to get an ear infection, but I don't
It just feels like its always the right side of my
body that feels weird. Anybody else has that?
Is their any over the
medication I can use, so it won't feel that way.
Don't need this symptom when I have a full time
job. Just as I thought I was getting better and I have bad headaches... with vertigo...

Possible sinusitis?

It has felt like a spider has been crawling around in my head and on my face for over 11 years. At least, after 10 years, I finally found out what the heck was wrong with me. I thought I had just smoked too much ____.

I had weird tingling on the right side of my face and then on my 3rd day of Rocephin, I woke up and I could not feel my ENTIRE right side of my face. I could have slapped myself (actually, I did) and didn't feel a thing. I was so scared I had Bell's.
I walked around for 5 hours early in the morning terrified to look in the mirror. I finally did and it was okay, it was just numb, completely. I guess it was a herx? I still don't understand the herx thing. lol.
I always have weird things going on with my ears, a lot of my issues are on my right side and I don't know why. My right ribs hurt worse, right side of my neck hurts worse, right ear hurts worse; pops more, etc.
The only thing that's worse on the left is facial twitching and twitching in general and my left ovary (which I think is unrelated) hurts more. It actually feels "harder" which has scared me for 8 years, but after many u/s and ct scans, plus a CA-125 blood test, we figured it was endometriosis (without the laparoscopy) because the pain when away when I was pregnant.
That's just what my obgyn thought. I was actually going to have the laparoscopy) but then Lyme symptoms set in along with the Lymph node drama and it became very very unimportant compared to my other new and fabulous health problems.
I need tubes in my ears but can't afford the surgery now. Cool!

Oh yes, LOTS of facial stuff. Vibrating, twitching, numbness/tingling (even tongue numbness). All waxes/wanes. I believe Lyme and company to totally be the cause, grrrr. Hope things have improved. TS

Magnesium Deficiency.
Oral-over-the-counter magnesium might help. It didn't help me. In my case 1 mg. (2 ml.) of magnesium IM clears these symptoms up in a few hours. I used to take it PRN about every five days. Nowadays it's probably more like every five weeks.

For me, this is what works:
sudafed plus Afrin squirted in nostrils (I do both sides, even though the problem is one-sided, to feel balanced)
Ben Gay on neck, massaged in (I massage myself, with plastic baggie over my hands)
I used to use Advil sparingly, but don't anymore due to GI response. It never did that much anyway.
I believe this is mainly neurological but also sets off muscles and even congestion in a chain of events that I don't understand. The feeling as if you are getting an ear infection is one I totally understand, and I believe it is referred pain, which may have its source in your neck(either muscles or nerves, but Ben Gay can help with either).
This is one problem that antibiotics lessened for me- the pain anyway and twitching- I still have days of tingling and a feeling as if that side of my face had been slapped, but less intense and much less often. The intense pain occurs now maybe once every two months, not bad at all.
