I guess I'm following in their footsteps... shouldn't complain or think outside the box... and what if I am wrong? what if my tests come back all normal? then I'll be the crazy hypochondirac, and feel hopeless about finding a solution... oh I forgot to say i get weird facial pain, it feels like nerve pain, almost like small shocks. kinda scary....
