Shooting pains/ Sinus pressure in my head

Hi all,

I'm almost 5 months in, and things are way better than during the first 2 horrendous months. However, I'm still experiencing flare ups and muscle pain/twitching/popping on down days. And more recently - over the last 2 months or so - I've experiences a lot of sinus pain, pressure, and shooting pains through the front of my head/skull. It's really hard to describe, but I wanted to ask if anyone else had experienced anything similar? You know how it is with this virus, every new symptom that crops up leaves you feeling as if something worse is happening 😦

Thanks in advance,

Emma

    I know that mono can make you more susceptible to sinus infections...I would get checked out for that if you haven't already in case you need antibiotics. Feel better soon! I'm about 2 weeks into symptoms and had sinus pressure and swollen eyes for the first week.
