I posted that I have been dealing with persistent dizziness that's lasted a year now and I finally caved and went to the ER. They performed a MRI which came back clean. However my prior CT scan from 2013 showed chronic sinusitis. The Dr said just by looking at me he can tell that I have sinus issues, snor, sleep deprived etc. Which is true. I had a severe sinus infection last year. I'm being tested for sleep apnea and all of it could be related to sinuses. I am starting zyrtec-d 5-120 mg once a day along side nasal spray (flonase) and sleeping with a humidifier by the bed. Hopefully this helps cure my dizziness. Also told me to follow up with ENT to rule out Minieres disease because it could still be that as well. Hopefully this helps some of you. The Dr said he could tell by the purple color under my eyes, so maybe that will help some of you?

    Hi, I hope you can get results and relief. Strangely you mention the purple colour under yr eyes as a close friend, whose daughter was diagnosed with Sjorgens this year,just mailed me,that she woke up,with this bruise like inch (Straight) long line under her eye area going towards the corner of eye. 

    She did some research and it seems it may be connected,to,to Eye Migraine.  Her daughter had one on the weekend so this cld be connected.  Her,daughter wont take drugs as she's trained in Holisitc medicine.
