weird sensation in face along with other symptoms

[Ahodge01]

Hello, I am a 22 year old male who was healthy until last October.  My chief complaints are major fatigue, anxiety, depression, daily headaches, night sweats, arthritis like pain in body, heart palpitations and mainly an odd facial sensation.

I have had multiple blood test ran along with a 3 chest CT's, 1 Abdomen CT (Came out I had appendicitis had the surgery still havent got better), multiple EKGs, an echocardiogram and a sinus CT.  All have came back normal.  I am here about the facial sensation.  It is odd in that it is not really a horrible pressure but more a feeling of tightening or pinching in a direct spot.  It seems to run in a line from my hairline in my forehead to the tip of my nose and also between my eyebrows.  It doesnt really hurt all that much but it is very annoying. Its like a centralized tightening sensation.  I can get it all over my face but it stays mostly confined between the brows and bridge of my nose and sometimes I get a tightening sensation above my ears and temples.

The only pain I get is a slight pressure behind the right eye but it comes and goes.  I have had brain MRI and CT scans in the past an all was fine, but I think im going to beg for another one this coming week at my doctors appointment.  I have been seeing doctors for 6 months now and no one seems to know why these things are happening to me.  Also, I do not have a recent MRI but my last neurologist gave a full inspection of my body (strength, feeling, eye movement) and I have a recent eye check up which showed no signs of internal pressure.

Anyone have any ideas?

All these symptoms started after a 3 month work trip (Utah, Nevada, Kansas, Buffalo NY, New York NY) and what was suppose to be a relaxing trip out to Vegas.  I first got sick on the way back from Vegas had a horrible case of diarrhea followed about an hour later by general malaise, dizziness and sore muscles. I remember my girl friend asking me "what was wrong, do you have a headache?"  I just told her I was sore all over.

Please any ideas to discuss with the doctor on tuesday would be nice my family and girl friend just want their old son and boyfriend back an I want to be feeling good to!  Before this I was an athlete, skier, hockey player, weight lifter and I ran 7 miles almost daily.  It has now become a chore just to go to work.

Please help!

I have been tested for HIV, West Nile and Lyme which all came back negative.  I had a positive tuberculous skin test but clear X ray and with no fever dr's dont think thats whats making me tired.  Also had very high epstein barr numbers but this gets mixed reviews from the doctors.

Currently waiting on second set of epstein barr numbers and blood test for different types of fungus's in the areas I visited.  I believe I'm going to ask for another Lyme disease test, MRI and even maybe something to test for malnutrition (thinking maybe B vitamins or magnesium deficiency ?  I have also not taken a brown looking bowel movement since this began.

All help is much appreciated!

I know this is an old thread, but it's the only one that I have come across that explains my symptoms to a T! I have also had 90% of the tests you mentioned above, performed with negative results on all of them. Did you ever have any luck in a diagnosis or solution to the problem?
