I'm totally amazed to see this site!! Thank you for this site!!! I've had this red ear phenomena for over 20 years. Thought I was the only one. Don't know why it happens either. I've asked doctors about it and they can't give me an explanation. They're clueless. Eating too many hot foods or or hot drinks can bring it on for me. The rest of the time it just seems to happen for no apparent reason. It can happen in one ear or the other or both at the same time. Tonight I noticed a low grade fever of 99 when it happened. Also had eaten a hot bowl of soup and cup of hot tea right before then. The back of my neck was hot too though my feet and hands stayed ice cold. I've had poor circulation all of my life (cold hands and feet all year long). Can't even wear a t-shirt in the summer unless it's long sleeved. I figure my poor circulation has something to do with this red ear phenomena somehow. I don't get hot ears every day though. Also have had seizures since I was 6 months old. Nobody knows what brought them on. I suspect the plethora of vaccination shots created that situation. Lately, i tested for heavy metal toxicity (to see if it could be a possible link to the seizures) and found that I've got high levels of lead and mercury. Could the red ear phenomena be related to heavy metal toxicity? In the process of chelating for heavy metals and hope this does the trick (ending both the seizures and the red hot ears). Maybe some of you here have heavy metal toxicity and just don't know it. I thought I'd put my story out there to see if this helps anyone. Also, I'd be interested in knowing if anyone else out there gets cold hands and feet along with this red ear phenomena. Good luck to all of you in finding an answer.
This is a very interesting site. Just within the last week have I started to experience this "red ear phenomenon" and thus, I did what most people do now- I googled it. It has only been my left ear. The first two times were when I was playing my clarinet in the evening and then again tonight. All three instances occured around the same time in the evening.
Starla- I, too, get really cold hands and feet- I have for several years now. It is interesting to read everyone's theories about this phenomenon. I am actually going to my doctor next week, because I also have a bald spot on the back of my head that was just discovered. From what research I have done...it could be simply stress (I am a teacher- it is not unlikely) or something going on with my thyroid.
