Since late June, I have:
- had a gallbladder ultrasound (negative for stones)
- been tested for food allergies, celiac disease, parasites, C. diff (all negative)
- had an upper endoscopy (normal)
- been on two rounds of antibiotics for presumptive sinus infection
- had a rhinoscopy (normal)
- had a sinus CT (normal - no sign of recent infection, either)
- been to the dentist to evaluate upper jaw/gum pain (just a torus)
I'm still having this weird, annoying pain and tingling around my left eye (which usually starts around 1 pm), and my ears are ringing.
The ENT is referring me to the headache center, a group of neurologists, because she thinks I may have a variant migraine. Considering that I have a history of migraines (which hit their peak of awfulness in 2005/06 while I was in Oregon, when I would have 2-3 migraines during my menstrual period and none the rest of the month) going back to at least 1999, I consider this a reasonable suggestion. (I've also been describing this facial pressure as "half a migraine," or "like my prodrome or aura, but without the part where my head goes in the vice at the end.")
I'm not sure it explains the whole nausea and vomiting thing, though. I don't know how long it'll be until I can get in to the neuro people.
