I haven't, but I feel really unsteady, like I'm suddenly too tall or my feet aren't big enough or something.

Are you still sick, or do you just need a kickstand?

I think it's all sinus related. I feel like i have a hole in the back of my head right now, and like I'm going to fall to the left side. My nose isn't running as much but it's still blocked every morning when i wake up and my ears are blocked all the time and buzzing. I need my whole fucking head flushed out be a HEAD DOCTOR.

Do you have any sinus medicine? Your ear tube thingies are probably blocked!

As much as going to the doctor is annoying, it might be wise.

The doctor prescribed a steroid nasal spray. i talked to her over the phone. I don't feel I properly got across how light-headed and off balance i feel. I feel like there's a pocket of air in the back of my head. or something. fuck. I should have said I think I have an ear infection I don't know if that really came across.

Was choking on snot in the morning didn't sleep at all kept having spasms every time i was about to drop off. that's a thing now.

If you have a history of sinus infections, it shouldn't be too hard to get her to write a script for antibiotics. Call her back!

Well I hope they ask good questions then. And maybe testing?

All they found was slightly low blood pressure and an outer ear infection. I don't think either really explain how I'm feeling. I still have this same feeling of movement in the back of my head, of my limbs being too loose, of not being in control of my arms or legs especially when standing up. The doctor tested my reactions and balance and stuff and didn't find anything. Still don't feel any better.

Did he give you anything for tye ear infection? Suggest anything for low blood pressure?

I was gonna say the same thing, did he give you any medication? Sometimes an ear infection can cause the loss of equilibrium, add the low blood pressure to it and that could explain the wooziness/lack of strength... or maybe the Muppet Nanny is a voodoo priestess out for vengeance...

I got a spray for my ear. I've been using it since yesterday, no changed so far. I don't know if it is balance, it's more like my body doesn't feel like it's there sometimes. Like when you move you expect how it's going to feel and it'll feel that way? Mine feels wrong. Bouncy. My joints feel too loose, like my elbows or knees are going to go over too far and snap. I don't know.

I'm sorry about how you're feeling -- I haven't really heard of those symptoms before.

(Insert inappropriately timed ROBOT BODY joke here)

In related news, my sister (who I live with) just informed me that she tested negative! She was feeling weird last week so she had a test done on Friday, and they texted her the results a little while ago. So now she's thinking she might have a sinus infection...

That's good that she's negative. But all the stuff I've having now started with my sinuses lol.

Also think I have IBS and it's flared up really bad this week which isn't helping. And there's the whole "what if it's cancer" worry.
