constant pain in thoat, neck, jaw, ears, seriose photophobia, anxiety,confusion

[nat2223]

In january 06 I had a bad flu/cold then two cases of potentially strep in a row. i took antiboitic for the first one I didnt finish them, took more when it reoccured. it seemed to clear up. But following this i was looking in my throat with a laser to see that it still looked infected . I flashed it too much in my eyes and i had what seemed to be a first of a string of panic attacks. Then following this i had neasea vision probs photophobia and strange headaches.The panic attacks didnt stop still to this day. and photophbia is so bad it makes me neaseas.I lost 15 pounds and its a strugle to eat.over the last year the neasea and headaches have seemed to go but now i still have a sore throat on right side a stabbing pain sometimes.I have a irregularly fast heart beat im on proponolol for. bad photophobia, and pain in my neck, jaw and back i cant even move my head or breath in without pain and cracking constantly all day in my spine. it also seems like i have an ear infection, but my doc sees nothing in my ears or throat. we did a swab last week i have strep again. took penicillin.im sneezing constanly aswell but my nose wont run. i have a cardiologist appoint coming up but i think is something else. like neurological or in my neck or spine maybe throat cancer. Whats wrong with me why cant i see the same anymore and feel like ive been run over by a truck for the last year.And the cracking is the most unconfortable part its moved down my neck  to my back and my back is acheing.Ive been taking clonazepam since feb but still panic and get bouts of confusion where i cant speak.

I am having a pain in my throat and it then goes to my ear. What could be the cause for this? I also have an enlarged circumvallate papillae tha I can't seem to get rid of. Do you have any answers?

yeah about two years ago this time, strep was going around, and i got it too, and took some antibiotics, and it started getting better to the point where it wasint a bother to me anymore, but i ended up with a sinus infection. also threwout all this my wisdome teeth were giving me problems. so maybe for five days in a row i would have a touth ack, then it would go away and i would feel good for a few days then there would be a pain in my neck or ear area. it would get sore, but then i would missage the lump away and the pain would go away. but after a while the pain would retern, eather lower on my shoulders or on the top of my head. or in my throwt, it was always on the right side of my head. sinus , ear , jaw and teath.., and my neck and head goes numb sometimes. kind of like theres somthing pushing on my brain.. one doctor i went to said it was a pinched nerve..                buddy i hope your still alive...

I had bronchitis last year jan 06. which put in a panic. I had never had it before and it triggered off an anxiety attack. I finally got better and the anxiety went away. I got another case of bronchitis in Oct 06 and it triggered anxiety again. I have been going to a therapist and it really has helped me. I do know that anxiety makes EVERYTHING seem worse and brings on many symptoms. I literally thought I was dying. I too wouldn't eat and lost 20 lbs.  It really took a toll on me. I'm 39 and will be having my thyroid and hormones checked to see what is going on.
