Hello everyone! Thanks for the welcome, I’m really glad to have found this group. :). Esp. thanks to Isiah – your welcome message was very kind!
I’ve been doing the whole “take every test and image and see every specialist in a 200 mile radius” dance – that I’m sure you all know – for more than 10 years now, but I’m cautiously hopeful that I’m at least moving in the right direction.
Before I tell my WHOLE life story though, I’m wondering if folks here could look at this pano and give opinions about whether Eagle is something that makes any sense in my case? (Understanding that y’all aren’t doctors, of course.).
I’ve done quite a bit of reading and looked at lots of other pans here and online and feel like I have an okay sense of what I ought to be looking for. But I don’t see anything obvious in my case and I don’t know if that’s because 1) I don’t really know what I’m looking at, 2) there’s nothing abnormal to see, 3) the xray is too blurry/doesn’t show enough, or 4) my massive jaw is in the way.
I’ve got a boatload of other diagnoses so it’s hard to be sure what symptom goes where, but my main “mystery” symptoms that I suspect are Eagle related are unilateral (L) ear fullness/pain, facial parasthesias, vision changes, headache/atypical migraine and sore throat; also dysphagia, fatigue, brain fog, tongue spasm, tinnitus/vascular tinnitus, head pressure, presyncope, and probably a few others I forgot.
Okay, I think I’m rambling! If anyone has thoughts, suggestions, etc. I’d love to hear them. Thanks again, and wonderful to “meet” you all.
