I tried to post a new discussion but the server froze up on me.
I recently met with an ENT specialist to go over a CT scan of my sinuses, and which the radiologist noted a deviated septum on the left side. I am immunocompromised and my doctor was attributing my ongoing eye pain and headaches to chronic sinus infections. Imagine my surprise when the doctor reviewed the scan with me and pointed out first that the deviation was on the right side, but more importantly I have bone loss or bone separation in and around my left orbital. A brain MRI has been ordered. I will be referred to an opthalmologist to discuss my dry eye syndrome. As you can imagine I am feeling like I just cannot catch a break. However, I am "on the move," staying as busy as possible and as positive as possible. My anger and perhaps doubt has been compounded by what I believe to be gross negligence on the part of the radiologist who interpreted the scan. I have not slept since last week when I learned this news. I just had 2 MRI's this past Friday, and more bad news to deal with. Sometimes it feels like too much

Hey Frances!
Not that it'll make you feel better, but I say "sometimes it IS too much!" & I don't think that is in any way 'giving in', but just acknowledging one's reality at the time.
Lately, due to evolving circumstances, I've tried just sitting back & just "being". Not a solution, but as long as I'm 'back in the game' by attending to necessities, going out to eat (diner, local restaurants, etc.), I find myself reconnecting, sometimes re-energized, sometimes reminded of my strengths, quirks and joys, and I trudge along!
I know it's all relative, but I also have hope that I'll "pull out of it" (my inactivity & non-productive ways), as things go along.
You're in our thoughts...appreciate your sharing, and hope the latest tests provide answers & solutions/remedies for these conditions.

I'm so sorry.
I know you feel overwhelmed today, but you are a resilient spirit. You will overcome this too.
Prayers for you
