The results of my ENT visit are:
-a neuro consult for migraines (which had better be made PDQ)
-a nose jobÂ? (they’re straightening out my deviated septum on July 7th)
-a dentist appointment to do something about my massive case of TMJ
So… it’s not my sinuses — it’s a bunch of other things and I think I nearly drove the ENT insane yesterday because I was so frustrated about what it was.
The diagnoses are accurate — I fit the TMJ profile scarily well and I experienced migraine hell today at work.Â? My boss is a saint for dealing with me being a weepy mess.Â? Oh yeah… there was also the insane facial pain, the nausea, and almost passing out at a staff meeting because I was so dizzy.
I think I’ll just go to bed now.
Getting your deviated septum fixed will help a lot. I had mine done ten years ago (holy crap… I can’t believe it was ten years ago already…) and prior to having it done, I had these massively horrible sinus headaches and I swear I missed a day of school a week most weeks. After I got it done, and it healed… It was like I had a brand new head. There is hope!
And you’ll be amazed at how much gauze will fit in your nasal cavity. 😉
I hope the neuro consult happens McSoon!!
I also hope you’re feeling better today. Nausea, dizziness, almost passing out – those are all good reasons to be weepy. I’m glad you have such a compassionate boss.
