Thanks, that is interesting. Particularly about altitude as I have often thought that may be one of my triggers - based on the number of times I have gotten TN when on vacation (after plane rides or driving through the mountains). I also hate flying and find it very stressful so I have also wondered if it could be the stress that causes it afer plane rides - but who knows.
I get the ear pain as well and went many years to drs and ENT specialists for my "ear problems" before finally someone guessing it may be TN.
Take Care

I have read of others who complain about airline travel and extreme changes in altitude while in a vehicle triggering episodes. We're all wired differently, and I sometimes wonder if TN'ers are wired a lot differently than non, but thats just my frustration speaking. Take care and enjoy your remissions and pain free times.
