Hi, I was diagnosed with APS about 18 months ago after a venous sinus thrombosis. Since this I have been told I have sjogrens although I tested negative I have very dry mouth and eyes which is easily treated with drops. About a week ago I started having problems with my ear. This feels like trapped water but instead of being deaf I have ultra sensitive hearing. All searches lead to meniers disease but this has lasted a week and not cleared up in between. I haven't been sick I'm in no pain and my balance is ok. My head feels a bit fuzzy at times. Any ideas would be good. Going to see my GP next week.

Hi Christine
Ear problems are common in APS. I saw, at Prof Hughes' recommendation, Peter Savundra at The Portland Hospital in London. Peter is a Consultant Audiovestibular Physician. A lovely man, he as a good knowledge of APS related ear problems.
I don't know if you can see him on the NHS but it was very well worth paying to see him, in my case.

HI there, I am going to let Dave answer this one, as he has very very good advice on ears. MaryF
Great. He's a fantastic guy, his clinics always run late because he spends so much time with each patient.
