Part two of the problem that just won't go away

I recently wrote that I've had a headache going on three months and it got so bad a few weeks ago, I went to my eye doctor to see if it had something to do with my eyes.
He saw just a little Iritis and put me on steroid eye drops. After two weeks, I was still in pain, so I went to see my eye specialist and he said my eyes are fine, nothing wrong with them. I didn't know whether to be glad or sad. Because my head and eyes still hurt.
I went to my primary care doctor this morning and he ordered blood work (four tubes of blood) and scheduled a CT scan for tomorrow.
He also started me on steroid pills and Tylenol, thinking maybe this has something to do with sinuses. I never thought I'd be wishing for a sinus infection.
But at least that's something that can be cleared up, maybe with antibiotics. Sure would be better than some of the scarier diagnoses that have scurried through my hurting head.

@1creekgirl His headaches stopped as they had came without that the doctors really understood what caused the problem.

I'm glad he didn't have a tumor. Did he finally get better?

Just had the CT scan of my head. They'll probably discover there's nothing in there!

wow, that's a lot of blood. it's strange that your eye specialist didn't find anything wrong yet the symptoms never stop.

I guess there's nothing wrong with my eyes and the headaches are from something else.

Better to have the tests just to be sure it's not anything serious. I hope it's something minor. Praying and sending healing thoughts. :-)

I'm really pulling for the sinus infection theory!

I will be keeping you in my prayers. Hoping it is just a sinus infection that can easily be treated.

@1creekgirl It's certainly scary not knowing, and the imagination runs riot. Hopefully you'll know soon and hopefully it'll be your sinuses. My wife gets that and it lasts a long time with her head sometimes sore, sometimes fuzzy with a lot of pressure behind her eyes.

I have a headache now but I know its the cold front pushing down, I KNOW!
I hope its just nothing and can be fixed with a pill.
I ask God to cure your headache, Amen.
