COMMENT:

Who knows? Any pain near your eye you can make worse by yawning, let
along neck motion, is unlikely to be related to your brain or to be
caused by a seizure.

The one doc you haven't seen is an ENT surgeon. There are a lot of
sinuses near the eye region, and they can cause all kinds of odd pains
and referred pains when they plug up or become infected. I personally
wouldn't trust anybody to read a CT in that area BUT an ENT surgeon
with some experience.
So take your CT's and go see one.

Don't worry. You're probably not crazy.

Another odd diagnosis for the differential would be trigeminal
neuralgia with opthalmic branch symptoms predominating. They didn't
start off calling this "tic douloureux" [spasm of pain] for nothing.
And of course in branch #I it can hit around the eye. Although motor
and sensory nerves in the face are completely separate, sometimes
sensory pain can be severe enough to trigger reflex motor spasm. A
trial of antiepilieptic drugs like neuronin and tegretol (which have
their own pain modifying properties) might sort some of this out.
