Evidently I'm "too healthy" for the doctor
I wouldn't have been any more surprised if the ENT would have proclaimed loudly "BORING!" and walked out.
Evidently by my CT scan I have super duper clean lovely sinuses...yet I have sinusitis. Whut? Oh, he's thinking it's migraines. Yes, I take BP meds because my GP diagnosed me with a month-long migraine. It helped for a while but I guess not anymore. He says I should to go a neurologist and get on meds.
But my major concern today was redness inside my lips and burning inside my mouth when I eat as well as a lump below my tongue. The lump started last week and I assumed it was probably a salivary stone since Mom gets those so I upped the water intake and started doing hard candy. It helped it go down some. But the mouth thing sprung up suddenly yesterday morning. This ENT doesn't seem to give a shit and yes, actually told me I was too healthy for him and dismissed me.
Guess since I'm not interesting enough or not dying of cancer, I'm not worthy of decent treatment? Yeah, fuck that dude. Well, for now I got some dry mouth gel, I'm going to make a much better effort to eat, exercise and otherwise live healthier and see where that takes me before I start doctor hopping again because clearly they don't give a shit.

If the stuff with my mouth doesn't resolve in a couple of days, I'll try to get into my GPs office. As far as the migraine theory, I'm going to try some relaxation techniques and stuff and healthier living and if that doesn't do the trick, I'll find a neuro that does botox for migraines instead of meds.

Since I can't do much barefoot, I was also wondering about trying chair yoga
