I have been struggling with RES for some time now. It seems to be the worst when my emotions are at a heightened level(which seems to be at the worst posible time)
I can feel it start to set in, and once I notice it it just intensifies. It occurs in both of my ears, and occasionally my forehead will break out into a sweat.
I am 25 in good health, participate in cardiovascular activities daily, lift weights weekly, and try to eat healthy.
As there seems to be no real solution I am going to try a new treatment for a month, as I am unsure how long I should continue a habit before it takes full effect.
I am not expecting to find a cure, but If I can find several limiting factors that work with me It will be a blessing.
It is comforting to know that I am not at this alone. I know what you are all going through. I have excused myself to the bathroom to try to cool my ears off but to no avail. It's embarasing, but I would say something we should all focus on is not letting it hold us back. And I often do let it hold me back. I will refrain from speaking up because I'm afraid I will become self conscious and my ears will turn red. I don't want to constantly live with the worry of what others will think of my redness. Yes I will try to figure out how to limit it, and do everything I can, but all the while I am trying to figure out triggers, and limiters I will be learning how to live with it.
Hope we can find some answers, I will post each month if I have any luck. My first treatment is going to be cold showers. Not to cool my ears off immediately, but they seem to have multiple effects:
Brings blood to the capillaries, therefore increasing circulation throughout the body. Cleans the circulatory system. Reduces blood pressure on internal organs. Provides flushing for the organs and provides a new supply of blood. Strengthens the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems. Contracts the muscles to eliminate toxins and poisonous wastes. Strengthens the mucous membranes, which help resist hay fever, allergies, colds, coughs
