I have always had a post nasal drip problem but last May 2002 I started to have a constant pressure in my eyes which gave me a tired feeling. I figured it was just an allergy but it never went away. Prior to that I had 6 consecutive yeast infections. In March 2003 I started with the neck pain (left side only) and feeling like I couldn't think straight. I'm tired most of the time. Needless to say I went to my regular doctor, a neurologist, a rhumotologist and a ENT. All of my tests (Cat scan of head, MRI w/ contrast, blood tests for Lupus, Epstein Barr...) have come back fine. I had a cold when the MRI was done so that showed Acute Sinusitus. The ENT thinks I have a TMJ problem and put me on a muscle relaxer to take before bedtime, Vioxx for the neck/head pain and Zyrtec & Flonase for my sinuses. This doesn't seem to be helping me at all and I've been using these MEDs for about 3 wks. Last week I was nauseous every day in the morning only but that has gone away this week. My main symptoms now are Pressure in my eyes (like i've had a very stressful day reading), pain in my neck and an overall weird feeling in my head. I get a tightness in the throat and shortness of breath sometimes. And most importantly - I feel like I can't think straight (a little dizzy) but not all the time. The only thing I can compare it to is how you feel when you have a bad cold and you can't think that well. My temples and teeth have a slight pain sometimes and the top of my head sometimes feels like my hair is standing on end. My eyes have a slight burning feeling sometimes also.
So where i'm at now is I'm going to see a Physical Therapist for TMJ. I can't believe this can be the cause of all my symptoms.
I also ordered a book "The Yeast Connection" and the cookbook that goes with it. I am going to change my diet and see if it helps at all.
Anyone have any advice for me?
