Hello Doctor-
For a long time, perhaps 5-7 years, I have been feeling really tired. I didn’t have energy to do anything after work and on weekends I had to rest a lot just to be ready to go to work.
I had pains on the roof of my mouth and pain in my tongue-this is a big problem for me, morning fatigue as if I had not slept, popping ears, constant clear sinus drainage with black specks, mild headache around forehead, blurry vision and sensitivity to sun light, frequent low fever (thinking I may be coming down with a cold), etc. I was in a lot of pain in my body, arms, neck, etc. I also developed this brown patch spots around both of my eyes which I have been told may be related to allergies. I saw many specialist including rheumatologist, GI specialist, but every doctor told me that I was fine.
About three months ago, I had was mildly sick with low fever but this time I noticed a terrible smell coming from my sinus. My doctor checked my sinus and said my sinus was swollen and was put on antibiotics. I was told to do nasal rinse everyday and I do the rinse twice a day and use Nasonex once a day. I then saw a ENT specialist and he did a head CT which came out normal. After the antibiotics for about two months, I felt so good as I have not felt in a long time. I told everyone how good I was feeling. About two weeks ago, I felt my body getting fatigued with body pain again. I saw my doctor again and she again said that my nose is swollen.
With all the specialists I have seen so far, no one can tell me who I need to see to get treated. I thought that I had to live with my symptoms, but after feeling so great after the antibiotics, I know that I can feel better. Can you please direct me to which specialist I need to see? A different ENT, allergy specialist or anyone else? Can you please tell me why I have this tongue pain (like it’s been burned and swollen)/roof of my mouth?
Thank you. Desperately seeking doctor/Shirley
