8. Sinus is a possibility.

I have always had trouble with mine. The node is actually right underneath my chin. The doctor did also bring sinus infection up but said since this is the only symptom I am experiencing now, he's puzzled.

That face camera sounds like a wonderful diagnostic tool. It's good your ENT specialist has one. The Primary Care Doc did give me a referral to one in case the antibiotics don't work.

The lack of sleep might be a factor for me too. I go through periods where my anxiety really peaks and messes with my sleep. The CSW says she thinks that between the anxiety and the depression, and the number of years I've had serious bouts with both, she thinks it's compromised my immune system and that's why all this is happening. The psychiatrist told me that both the AD and Depression will in my case be life long, and the meds can only do so much and I just have to keep practising coping and relaxation techniques to prevent any major relapses.

On the hives they are going to start allergy testing soon.

Thanks! :
