Hi: I have dealt with similar head pain off and on, though I've never had any issues with my eyes losing focus. I have had pain which feels like it's behind my eyes, though.

Have you tried one of those sinus masks which you microwave for a short time? It's sort of like a bed buddy, but just for the face. If you try one, make sure it isn't too hot (they heat quickly!). Even when I have any type of facial pain, not just sinus pain, this seems to bring a little relief.

Carefully using steam generally helps me with head pain, as does a gentle neck massage.

Since I've cut way back on salt and sugar, so far (hope it keeps on!) I haven't had a lot of these issues.

It does seem fibro-related, but you are smart to get a sinus x-ray and continue to have it checked out by a doctor.

I hope you get answers soon and things are much better. Best wishes! :-)

Well the thing is when I take allergy medicine I feel a tiny bit better but it starts losing effect after constant use, been having this problem for months I'm starting to think something is wrong with my eyes, nervous system or sinuses because I do have constant pain in the back of my neck. Either way im a try to find a way to cure it because it's starting to put me frustrated state.

It could be your neck causing the pain. Ask for an xray or cat scan.

Maybe it would be a good idea to see a neurologist. They can cover a lot of issues and it might help narrow down to whatever is causing the problems.

I was referred to a neurologist after having problems with my legs and feet. Then, I had several tests, and though the diagnosis wasn't 'on the mark' specific, at least I knew several things had been tested so I could cross those off my list.

It does bring peace of mind, just taking the step of seeing the 'next' specialist. Not exactly fun, but it may be a good direction to go. A neurologist may be able to connect your symptoms to something specific.

I think I would go with Joy's suggestion first (just saw your post, Joy. I think we were posting the same time, but I was being pokey). It could save you a trip to another doctor.

Wish you the best and I hope you keep us posted. Take care! :-)
