:weep: Hi There
Having been through the docs and them not coming up with a diagnosis as to what is causing my pain, I have gone back to work but am finding it really hard to concentrate at work due to the continued pain and pressure I am having in my face (Forehead, behind my nose, mainly)
Sitting in a meeting today, I thought I may pass out, the pain got so bad.
I am at a loss of what to do. The docs won't refer me to any consultant as said the ct scan I had of my sinuses and brain was all clear so as far as they're concerned there isn't a problem.
This pain is taking over my life, I feel so down about it. It subsided a bit last week, but then has come back with a vengeance.
I started to take Goldenseal (herbal antibiotic) on Saturday, and Bromelain (anti inflammatory - supposedly good for sinus issues) but it is kind of hard to treat something when you don't know what it is...
I also tried Hopi ear candles, which are supposed to regulate the facial and sinus pressure, but they didn't do anything either.
I am making my poor hubbie's life a misery - he is fed up of me being so unhappy all the time, but I'm unhappy because of the pain. No painkillers dull it. It is there from when I wake up in the morning, to when I go to bed and sometimes the pain wakes me up from my sleep.
I don't want it to ruin my worklife - I have been off sick for weeks and I want to get back into it and not be off sick again.
Any ideas of things to try would be appreciated
Thanks
