Cranial bone tumor question # 2

Hello, this is another question about the cranial bone tumor (I posted on 12 Sept.)

It was suggested that maybe I have chronic sinusitis. I will say that although doctors found a deviated septum and swollen turbinates, there has never been a sign of actual sinus infection or post nasal drip, on CT, MRI, or sinus endoscopy. The symptoms have been continuous for 41 months. Did you see the films I posted?

To recap: Dull pressure behind my forehead that is deep and diffuse, head feels heavy, with frequent morning headaches that are throbbing with tenderness all over my forehead.

Original question:
Doctor,
I am told that I have fibrous dysplasia of the skull.  It measures 3.5 x 2.4 centimeters, as you can see below in the left supraorbital area...

Here is a link to the films (please look at the link and scroll down to see the images)..

My symptoms have been for 41 months a continuous, dull head pressure that is widespread (diffuse) and deep behind the forehead....my head feels very heavy, and forehead stiff.    It is hard for some one to imagine unless they feel it, but it is very depressing to feel this intense pressure always.     It doesn't get worse with exercise, but it does interfere greatly with my well being and ability to function.

I have seen a neurologist and neurosurgeon at a major University, and I know what they have recommended.

Could you tell me if you think this is probably or probably not the cause of my symptoms?   And any additional comments you can make. Sep 13, 2008 Thanks. Rob2008

chronic sinusitis? medhelp.org/posts/show/626250

If 'a cold' or congestion persists for, as you say, 41 months ... it could be an ongoing exposure to BUTYL.

I suspect this chemical for causing horrible headaches and the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome symptoms and autoimmune issues. Many times a tumor, even a brain tumor comes along 'after the fact' yet focus continually is upon the tumor.

Do you have anemia? memory loss?

Seizures can also be from lack of blood oxygen

Has something changed in your life the past 41 months ... Different than before?

What kind of work do you do?

yea... I have a new job working at a photo lab... but i mess with chemicals but cant really smell them a lot and stuff like that...off the top of my head i cant think about any new paint fumes and things as that nature.... do u have these hemiplegic migraines? if so does it sound like i have been diagnosed right? oh and i have had the sniffles and things.. but i have sinus problems... so i figured that's what it was... was i wrong? ha ha! but I have the sniffles... yes

thanks so much-savanna

Photo chemicals are very, very hazardous

You must not do this work unless you wear an air tight goggle mask and have study chemical retardant gloves

This is most probably the source of your problem ... the chemicals I'm talking about or worse

You can loose your eyesight ... your hearing ... your sense of taste & smell

You can loose your life

Do you have FATIGUE? Do you have short term memory loss?

Sandy worked with the kind of chemicals in printing/ photo

If you have high white blood cell counts ... it is not from infection , most likely
it is a sign of ANEMIA doctors generally do not find

Your diagnosis could be exactly correct

What I am saying is that it is one of a host of symptoms that BUTYL type chemicals would cause

I studied 2-butoxyethanol which has a monobutyl component

This type chemical is the ROOT cause of what you are dealing with in my opinion

I have no medical background
