Sinusitis Forum - Almost Paralyzed With Fear!!!

Hey everybody, i'm new here, and i'm pretty scared, although I may not have reason to be. My headaches started out as a tooth abscess in mid dec. On dec. 22, my husband decided to go on yet another of his alcoholic benders and ruined christmas for everybody. I won't go into detail about all he put me through, but believe me, it was bad. Now...I had been pretty much disabled for a year and a half due to dangerously low blood pressure. While he was drunk, he kept me on the run, which I was not used to doing. I had no energy due to that low bp. While he was drunk, I started having to do things that he had been doing, so for 3 weeks, I emptied trash, ran errands for him, and took down our massive christmas tree. That thing was huge. Also, for the past 5 months, i've had to deal with 3 deaths, all traumatic, 1 freak car wreck, and 2 horrible murders, all people I was very, very close to. Anyway, the day after he sobered up, it's like I just lost it, snapped maybe. I started having this horrible tension in my neck and down into my shoulders and upper back. Had a little dizziness, but not much and even that seemed to come from my back, can't really explain that, it was just a feeling. Went to my Dr., told him about the headaches, which really wasn't a headache, I never even took an aspirin for them, just kind of a tight feeling at the back of my head. He felt my neck, shoulders and back and said that it was all "hard as rocks", with a knotted muscle the size of a golf ball on my upper left shoulder. I am also an anxiety "victim", so we all naturally assume the worst when we get headaches. Stress continued, developed sinus infection. Finally got scared enough to take myself to the er where the Dr. Ordered ct scan of the head, which she really didn't want to do, didn't think it was necessary. Neurological assessment was all normal. This is what the ct scan said, "findings: the ventricles and parenchymal architecture have an appropriate ct appearance for a patient of this age. There is no mass effect or midline shift. There is no acute hemorraghe or evidence of localized edema. No abnormal extra-axial fluid collections are present. Impression: no significant radiographic abnormality seen. Complete opacification of the right maxillary sinus". The er Dr. Said that the sinus was completely full of infection. I also had an earache. She found knotted and extremely tense muscles. Put me on skelaxin, and 2 days after scan I noticed slight nausea. I take a lot of hydrocodone for severe lower back pain. I have talked to so many people about this, I even talked to a radiology tech in one of the best hospitals in this country who works with the radiologist who read the scan. She said that the machine they used was a brand new 16 slice scanner, and that the radiologist, in her opinion, was the best in the city I live in. But...........Nobody can convince me that I do not have a brain tumor. Started seeing chiropractor who is doing deep ultra sound on my entire back and neck, headaches went away for about 10 days. Then I got the news on valentine's day about somebody very precious to me being murdered, (massacred is the word for it actually). I went into shock when I heard it. Stupid headaches came back, along with neck tension. I woke up this morning with severe neck pain, went back to bed, woke up again and it was gone except for a dull ache. I try so hard to believe in the ct scan, it's been 2 months since all this started and I haven't developed any new symptoms. But i'm still scared, so any reassurance would really help me at this point.
Sorry for such a long post. Btw, sinus infection is finally breaking up and my nose is running like a faucet. Those don't scare me, but I don't like this weird feeling in the back of my head, neck and shoulders. Help!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks in advance,
