Kim What about seeing a regular eye, nose, ear and throat specialist type doctor. Could be an inner ear problem. You might ask for some medication to give you some relief. Your other postings like chest tightness, headaches, vision problems and pain down your arm, skin nerve sensitivity, do seem to indicate a more systemic problem like MS. The best way to check for MS is an MRI with GAD contrast which costs about $900 . MS is diagnosed by eliminating other causes like Lyme disease, brain tumor, ALS and about 16 other more uncommon conditions/diseases.It can be quite expensive. Sometimes medications can cause a ringing in the ear. The fact the doctor would not see you because of your lack of medical insurance is criminal. My money states "This note is legal tender for all debts public and private". It would be in your best interest to get a job that would get you some medical insurance before you get officially diagnosed with whatever. MS medications are about $10,000 to $12,000 per year. Do you have a major teaching University Hospital where they train doctors or major medical clinic like Mayo in your area. Please keep trying to get medical help. If you state general area where you live, someone may be able to help you find a medical doctor or clinic. The local MS organization might have some doctor ’s names. Jack N Dalton

Hi Kim, I have the skin pain, it’s a cold pain rather than a burning pain. The Neurologist gave me a prescription for Neurontin and that killed the pain. I take 900 mg three times a day. You need to see a Neuro or at least a sympathetic General practitioner. My skin pain was driving me "bananas". It got to the point where I literally wanted to craw out of my skin. Only get occasional ringing in ears though. I would start looking for a neuro in surrounding areas, or perhaps there are some community service agencies in your area that can assist in finding help.

I get "vestibular" symptoms as well. Mostly nausea with moderate ear pain. I’ve written it off as vestibular neuronitis or sinusitis – do you think it could be MS related? Chuck
