im so sick of this disease. doctors, family , people in general, nobody understands it!.....oh well..... i started with the headaches almost 5 years ago. since ive seen a thousand doctors. 6 ent's, 3 neurologists, internal medicine. the list goes on a on. had septoplasty and sinus surgeries with no effect accept to drain my bank account , since i dont have real insurance. now unemployed, the latest neurologist diagnosed me with tmd, and from everybodys symptoms it seems obvious now. anyways he sold me this nti thing because he thinks i clench, which im sure i do. my teeth are all worn. seems like i cant tolerate this thing either, just strains my jaw and cheek. ive lost 20 pounds in the last year for some reason. im almost 34 now and my health seems to just dwindling as this evil disease is pulverizing me. heres how my symptoms are generall
mptoms
- Constant dull headache pain across entire head (tension-like, squeezing, etc)
- Intensity of pain is 3-4 out of 10
- Sensitivity to light
- Plugged ears (varies in degree)
- Pain seems "focused" over forehead
- Pain also behind eyes, nose
- Pain and soreness around jaw
- Neck muscles are tight as well
- Headache seems worse in morning
- Pain is there 24/7 and has never gone away
- Right nostril seems less open than left (no congestion at all though)
- i also have major gerd with hiatal hernia
what makes this all the more hopeless is i dont have insurance and am unemployed and cant hold a job like this.
sorry to be so long winded......is there any hope of getting out of this before i jump out of the window?
