[|Human|] Hello, I suffered facial paralysis last year (Bells Palsy) which began with pain under my ear. 9 months later I have recovered about 90% of movement but still have nerve inflammation pain behind ear which my neurologist is treating with cortisone shots and Indocin. But I really am desperate for a diagnosis. I have nodules in my thyroid. and also was ANA positive recently.
[|AI|]  Hi I did review your concern. Your condition can be related to an autoimmune condition. Autoimmune conditions like SHE, score syn Chat Doctor. I would recommend you to get tested for anti DS DNA and anti smith antigen and other autoimmune markers like ANNA proteins. They are treated with high dose steroids and immunomodulators when the diagnosis is made. I hope this helps. Wish you all the best. Thank you for using Chat Doctor.
