After many attempts to try and relieve my persistent symptoms I find
myself stuck again.

My 'attacks' cause pressure primarily along the cheeks and into the
ears, particularly on the left side. They are coupled with increased
tinutus and general fatigue. At their peak I get night sweats and
disturbed sleep. However, my nose rarely blocks.  In fact I have not
had a runny nose for many years. Someitmes the left side seems unable
to breathe normally. Recently, I have been trying nasal irrigation
with a saline solution. It appears to make the situation worse...it
has made my nasal passages feel slightly inflamed; like I have been
swimming for prolonged periods. I have used a steriodal spray for
years that has never seemed to have any real impact and I have
discontinued its use.

I have been seeing and ENT who has ordered CAT and MRI scans. They
have not shown any obvious problems, though both were down outside of
an attack. He reported I have a slightly deviated septum on the left
side but he didn't feel it warranted any action. He suggested there
was nothing further he could do for me.

I also had some general allergy tests that showed no obvious
allergies.

This is generally a autumn/winter problem for me.

I realise there are many on here with worse symptoms than myself but
nonetheless I am feeling frustrated and depressed by my ongoing cycle
of symptoms and fatigue resulting in days off work and impositions on
other aspects of my lifetstyle.

Any suggestions would be gratefully accepted.
