Saw my dr today, had to go for an update after seeing the psycologist last week. That went great and the dr was very happy that I decided the counselling was the treatment I need not medication as he says I do not seem to suit anti depressants.
Then I went onto say I was still getting sinus pain every day, he diagnosed me with chronic sinusitis 2 months ago, im using a steroid & anti histamine sprays, I was on antibiotics 2 weeks ago and today he put me back on them again. I am only on 250mg 3x a day of amoxicillin, I hope it shifts it. He didn't examine me just prescribed them again. I told him I was having headaches daily, all down back of my head and forehead and all he said was 'lots of things can cause headaches' that was it.
So ive come away now wondering why im having headaches??? he told me 2 months ago if the steroid spray didn't help id be refered to an ENT specialist and would have a scan to check my sinuses were ok. Do you think he is just giving anti bs one more try? he didn't say to go back but im going back in 2 weeks anyway to see the other GP who prescribed me the iron and he wants me back to sort out another blood test so I could mention it then about the sinuses but the reason i saw the other GP about my sinuses in the first place was because my regular GP didn't take me seriously, lol! Confusing hey[^]
I am also now worrying about the risk of meningitis, I spend everyday when im having sinus pain worrying it will turn to meningitis today, it takes over every day of my life and I find it hard to look after 3 kids when im that worried. I know they have told me meningitis and brain absesses are very rare complications from chronic sinusitis but I worry every day. I have had this for months & months now its really worrying me. I doubt they will ever refer me now and I will be in pain and worry forever about this.[}:)]
I came home and realised id forgotten to mention my bruising, I have about 7 10p-50p size bruises up each thigh, they are on the outside of each leg but still there are quite a few, mainly in a cluster. My husband says its obvious why, im always running into things with having 3 children. I had a full blood count done only 2 weeks ago and was told all was fine other than low iron stores which they are treating me for. Stupid me weighed myself and ive lost 2lbs so im in a tizz thinking leaukemia :(
Sorry just had to get this all off my chest. Its my daughters 1st birthday tomorrow and her party saturday, I just know im going to be worrying instead of enjoying her special day. Life can be unfair at times.[}:)]
