I have to say it is amazing to find this site with so many people who are suffering from this annoying thing.
I am 15, and my right ear always gets hot midway through 4th period (around 1:45, block scheduling). I am in advanced classes for my age and suffer from a medium to high level of stress (I'm pretty good at dealing with it).
When I was around 12, I had my tonsils removed and developed pneumonia that went undiagnosed for a while (an infectious disease specialist finally caught it). Ever since then, when it is hot outside or I get out of a warm shower, I have giant red splotches on my knees sometimes extending down my leg. These don't itch at all but feel a little warm (warm enough for me to notice)
Throughout any given day my chest will also have the same splotches.
My psychiatrist has told me that the chest ones can be due to being uncomfortable in a social situation.
Which brings me to commonalities. I have ADHD (I was diagnosed at age 7 or so) and currently take Concerta for it. Recently I have had issues with Social Phobias, but mine involve gym class (which I am currently not taking) and playing my Clarinet in front of people in band class.(I noticed the trumpet player's comment, I have not noticed the red ears when I play though). I am not completely sure, but I think I have AB+ blood type (I know I am not O) Either hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism runs in my family. As of three years ago, I did not have that (when they were trying to diagnose my pneumonia) I do not think I have any food allergies, especially considering that the Concerta decreases my appetite so I generally skip lunch (which gives me Hypoglycemic symptoms, which my mother has) and I still have these symptoms, I do, however try to eat a little something to control my shakiness and I always have water. My Mother's Mother is allergic to soy, however.
I am NOT a hypochondriac, though. A friend commented on my ear (I have always just ignored it or thought I have a fever, although I never do) and suggested I check it out.
This has been bothering me for a while, I wonder what our issue is.
Anyone with whom could comment with insight on my problem/symptoms, it would be greatly appreciated!
I'm so glad I found a group of people who have the same problem!
