Now he says it's on both sides and seems to move up to the top of his head, and has more of a feeling of "netting". He said 12 years ago he had an MRI and nothing was found. Now he feels it's spreading. Woke me to pray against it entering his lymph nodes the other night. Does this symptom sound familiar to anyone?
It probably would be a good thing to assume that it is real and have a doctor examine him. If it is towards the front, it could be in the sinuses. I would at the least have a ENT examine him.

Does he have these symptoms only when manic? If so, it could be a hallucination. Let's not assume it's not real immediately but if he only feels it when manic, I wonder if it might possibly be a hallucination?

I hate it when anyone automatically thinks things are imaginary because someone has a mental illness. But we can't rule it out realistically either. Has he had a doctor's opinon recently since it spread?
