Hi! I was glad(I think) to find someone else who has had similar symptoms as myself. I am relatively new to this as I have only been having these feelings for about 8 weeks now. I have a permanent headache in the front temples, jawaches and earaches on and off. My neck and lower base of the head will fluctuate from being stiff to aching. I began at a family doctor who said I had fluid in my ears and probably a sinus infection. Was treated by rounds of low doses of antibiotics and antihistamines and finally steroids. I had two ct scans done, one of the brain and one of the sinuses. Then I was sent to and ENT who said I may possibly have Meniere's Disease as I am 30% off balance in my left ear. He told me to go on a low salt diet and take a diuretic and come back in 6 weeks. No explanation for the headaches though. I wasn't about to wait another 6 weeks so I have now gone to see an Internal Medicine Specialist. She thinks that maybe I have more than 1 thing going on, an untreated sinus infection and then she doesn't know. All my bloodwork has been fine, this last time in I had blood drawn to see if maybe I have dilated blood vessels...still waiting on results. I am also scheduled for an MRI. Have you had any of the above done? I can't believe its been that long for you and still no relief or diagnosis. Let me know your scenario....
