Alright, I first experienced about 5 years ago...My right ear feeling blocked for a while, probably a few months. So I ended up going to the doctors, and I actually had a bunch of wax build up, I mean a bunch of it in both ears. So I had that resolved. And my ears felt better for a while, pretty close to normal.
Soon after maybe a month or two. I noticed my right ear was feeling clogged, then my left ear started to feel clogged. I went back to the doctors and had them both cleaned out again, but this time there wasn't really anything in there, no build up.
I ended up having an mri done and nothing out of the ordinary showed up. Then my regular doctor recommended I go see a tmj specialist. So I did...I guess they could be symptoms of tmj that i'm having but apparently that is not actually the problem.
So now, I noticed that my nose was feeling blocked all the time just like my ears, but my ears have always been the main problem. Although maybe it was my nose from before to, but I just didn't really notice it because my ears have over-shadowed it.
About last year mid-summer in '05 everything drained apparently for no reason for a whole two days all through the back of my throat! It was amazing and I thought I was finally cured, but unfortunately it didn't last :( everything clogged back up after the two days even worse! I should also point out that I have symptoms of post nasal drip as well.
Around this time I have also noticed that my whole head has started to get alot of pressure, esspecially my forehead, and even the back of my head! Everywhere there is pressure! It feels like I have fluid everywhere.
I ended up going to the doctors again for my ears, and this time they said everything looked 'normal' again....Yea maybe on the outside but there is def. Something going on inside :(.
He recommended I go to an allergy specialist so I did. It turns out that the test came out positive for a few things mainly dairy. I have been staying away from it, but still no results!
So now I notice recently that my throat has been getting tight! Now seriously my whole head feel like its going to explode all the time. I'm not getting any relief, i'm so fed up I don't know what to do :(
i finally go to the last doctor again, and I say to him I just don't know what to do anymore, I don't know what it could be. Just give me some anti-biotics incase this whole time its been a sinus infection. So he gave me the strongest thing there is. That was on friday, and now it is wed. Of next week. I had to stop taking the anti-biotics because it did not give me any results and it made me extremely sick, I have been a zombie at work today.
On a plus note, I did have a hearing test done at the last visit and apparently the doctor was shocked that I have "excellent hearing" despite all of this..Just imagine what my hearing would be like if I could have my head back to normal and I work as an audio professional. Everyday is like torture for me!
Please someone help! There has to be an answer! Why would I experience the draining like nothing happened before? I know that it can happen again, I just don't know how to make it, and for good this time! :x :(
