Hey fellow hypochondriacs....
I have a hard knot on the back of my skull where it meets the neck. My ear on that side has a constant pressure in it. (No wax build up that I can tell.) And also my sinuses on that side aren't draining right....

Brain tumor huh??????

17. Aliens usually put brain chips in anally
They run this long tubing from your anus to your sinus area in order to implant the chip



Geez, don't you know anything about rectal probing??? Get with the program!!!

6. I had pretty much the same symptoms you have
I had it throughout the left side of my face, and through the right side to the back of my head which created a lumpy thing in the base of my skull. If you're a smoker, its not uncommon to get reoccuring sinusitis, especially if the antibiotics didn't totally wipe it out the first time. I was on Zithromax, and I haven't had a problem since.

Good luck to you, it sucks (p.s. mine was an anyeurism ;) )

10. Know what is weird...I have had a sore throat for six weeks!
It swtarted out as a cold or something nasty, then the cold dissipated but the sore throat remained. The cold/sinus pressure, etc. returned for about a week over the fourth of July and is gone again, but lo and behold the sore throat still remains!

It started on the left side of my throat and has now moved to the right side. It hurts when I talk alot and I'm getting sick of it. Unfortunately, I have a 500 deductable on my health insurance and 5 months left of the year. I think I'll skip the Dr. on this one unless it gets worse.

That is my complaint for the day. Thank you.

13. How are your teeth?
Might be an absess.

It could also be inflamed lymph nodes.

Could be a sebacious cyst gone wild.

The possibilities are endless.

22. no, didn't you hear?
you can now get certain 'social' diseases from public restrooms. At least that's where my girlfriend got it. right? please?

you don't want to know about adult onset gigantism, trust me, you're better off internally hemorraging in peace, never knowing what your endocrine and pituitary systems are doing to eachother and your circulatory system.

mmm, parasite. maybe you'll get really lucky and it will be a nascent tapeworm. Once they get to ten inches or so they begin to migrate through your circulatory system until they get to the digestive tract. Then they can be removed (do be careful, sometimes they come out your nose by accident.) God, I hope, for your sake and that of your loved ones, this it could be that simple and easy.
