If these nerve pains are really persistent or bothersome, it's worthwhile asking your doctor about gabapentin, which relieves it. I've also had this rarely, but it hasn't hung around long enough for me to consider taking anything for it. I hope you are all free of this pain soon!😘
Yes, many people with lupus experience stinging or sharp pain on the side of their head. This sensation can be caused by nerve damage that occurs when lupus triggers inflammation of the nerves or surrounding tissues.

Charlene and others, please be sure to see your doctor if your pains persist or worsen. In some cases, a brain scan may be needed to ensure nothing else is going on, though fleeting pains that come and go quickly and are sharp and stinging are very likely nerve-related.
@A MyLupusTeam Member.. Happy Wednesday! I get that stinging sharp pain too, just comes out of nowhere. Like @A MyLupusTeam Member and @A MyLupusTeam Member mentioned, I have lots of inflammation as well which can contribute to this type of pain. Hope you get relief soon, hang in there! 🌸🌸
Hi Charlene, I also have this and it just comes out of nowhere. Like Journey2 I'm full of inflammation. At times I was convinced there was a bug living in my ear(super creepy!). The head pain, creepy crawlies, bloating,etc. are due to these never ending flares for me personally. I wish I had an answer for you, but I have a tendency to blame lupus for everything & just put up with and ride out symptoms. I hope you find relief soon!
