Multitude of symptoms - bacterial infection?

What kind of bacteria can live in the head and sinuses?

My problem started around 3 or 4 years ago; everytime I had a meal or even a drink I would get an extreme headache and fatigue. In-between this I just felt mildly confused and always lacking in energy.

My doctors did blod tests and found no problems. I asked them about coeliacs and had a negative test for it.

I turned to some alternative therapy from online forums and first though I had candida and after doing a herbal cleanse I got what they call die-off. I was getting rashed on my hand and having very intense flatulence passing a lot of slime. unfortunately the cleansed reduced the severity of my symptoms but not completely.

SInce then I have tried anti-biotics and lots of herbal remedies and even fluconazole. All of which made the rashes worse and cause a moving or feeling of pressure in my face. At one point I used to feel like a head a head band on my head that was pressing really tightly all around my head.

The tingling and pressure is now all in my nose and my face with occassional twitches on the top and at the back of my head.

Additional to the above I have been doing a sinus rinse and I have been seeing little white bacterial worm type creatures that are gooey and at first were mistaken for mucous - but they all have the same shape. Fatter at the top, then a slim narrower portion with like a ball or diamond shape on the end.

I also have a lump in the roof of my mouth and dark patches around my eyes and green layer on my tongue at the back.

PLease can someone help, my life is being ruined.

Ok, it might be worth a shot. But if I have lyme disease they will not know what to do?

Hi,

How are you?
I am not really sure what the white wormy thing in the phlegm is. I think it could possibly be thick mucus.
Since you have a lump in the throat and sinusitis, it will make sense to see an ENT specialist and get his opinion. An ENT specialist is an ear, nose and throat specialist. Hope this helps!

Thanks for your reply.

I certainly see what your saying and feel the patches under my eyes are just a side-effect of their presence maybe anemia or liver issues?

I dont know what an ENT specialist is and my doctor here in the u.k would sooner send me to some psychiatric doctor than anything else.

If it comes down to it I would go private, pay what it costs etc to see an ENT, if you could please just give me a bit more info I would be so grateful.

Do you have any idea what the white wormy things may be? Some have said morgellons but I have none of the skin issues.

Hi,

How are you?
The major bacteria that can cause sinusitis are H. Influenzae, streptococcus pneumoniae, Moraxella catarrhalis, and staphylococcus aureus. Other bacteria include anaerobic bacteria, gram negative bacteria, and some fungus.
Please remember that it is not possible to see bacteria by naked eyes.
The under eye circles can be due to lack of sleep and anemia. The green tongue indicates a fungal infection, although sometimes excessive antibiotic use can cause a green or black tongue.
I would advise you to get yourself clinically examined by an ENT specialist. Take care!
