Members confirmed experiencing similar tension headaches, ear pressure, dizziness, and facial puffiness during flares, with many describing pain that radiates from the base of the neck around the ears and into the forehead or throat. Several members shared medications and strategies that have helped them find relief, including Imitrex and Topamax for migraines, THC cream applied to the temples, and sleeping propped up to reduce neck pressure and heaviness. A recurring theme was the debilitating nature of these symptoms and the comfort of knowing others understand the struggle, with gentle reminders to have new floaters checked by an eye doctor.
