    Haha, I'm 20 and only one has popped out :P

    I noticed slight pain when I press right on top of my ear and behind it on my skull, but no where else

    Must be genetic because my brother had to get his out when he was like 14! Have you tried massage therapy in case tension is a factor? (I apologize if you already answered that, my brain is super frazzled today--about to go into a situation that's really sparking my anxiety so I'm like short-circuiting, heh.)

    Wow, that's very young for your brother!

    I actually haven't tried any type of therapy, have you gotten any before?

    I haven't, though I want to very much. Basically, I went to many doctors and specialists in a short period of time when I could no longer swallow a few months ago. Nobody was able to help or take me seriously, so I'm really disillusioned now with doctors, which is giving me hesitation to go back in. I do feel a little better when my friend rubs my shoulders and neck, but I haven't booked a professional massage yet. I think it might help though.

    Is your swallowing doing better?
    It annoys me so much when doctors don't pay attention to what you're trying to say. :(

    You definitely should book with a professional, it can help with any tension and help you relax

    Well..yes and no. It still feels really uncomfortable to swallow, and I still have pains in the front of my neck + muscle tension. Actually, it all started around the same time as the pressure and muscle tension elsewhere. But while I went a month eating less than 100 calories a day, I'm now pushing myself to do more. So I went from applesauce to mashed potatoes to pasta to toast, and I'd like to someday eat chicken again! I lost a lot of weight in a very short amount of time so I'm trying to gain/maintain and that makes me try to forget the difficulties.

    Since my insurance is leaving me soon, I'll probably end up just paying for massage therapy and hope for the best, haha. :P
