Hello everyone,
My name is Jennifer and I am in need of some help. Over a week ago, I noticed for lack of a better description a bring red slightly swollen large square shape on my forehead, I thought it was form the cold, as it has been freezing and windy, but it did not go away, my face turned bright red and burned and was hot to the touch, took benedryl to no avail, I soon had the beginning of the worst headache of my life, extreme face pressure, and swelling still on my forehead no matter what I do, went to ER for headache after 9 days and they did a CAT of my brain, and sinus cavities, both were normal, did also get an MRI but no results yet, the pain medication they gave me does not seem to help. I can no longer work out and i have been to 5 Drs., all of whom are completely confused by my condition. Has anyone suffered from this? I have lyme disease, have been treated and at first thought the two were related, but it does not seem this is the case. I am only 28 and geez I need to be functioning at my job and I can barely, I have iced my head also..No known allergies and no sudden changes in anything in my life. I am scared at this point and hoping someone can help me out.
Thank You

Hey dr,
I've seen your post on a few sites now and am hoping you got some help. You mentioned having a lot of health issues in the past few years. Also mentioned lime. Some symptoms sound a lot like Fibromyalgia or maybe Lupus. I dx'd myself with Fibro after reading aout it on the web. Then went to top guy in my state and confirmed. You might try looking at those two possibilities on the web and see one sounds familiar, then see a specialist. Don't bother with other docs. It took me many years to get a firm dx.
I'm sending a prayer up for you.
