No seriously, that's what it feels like. For the past few days I've been fighting with multiple pain locations across the left side of my face, ranging from the back of my neck to underneath my ear. It's been tolerable until this morning. But all of that pain is gone and has given way to an inflamed tooth that makes my face feel like it's on fire, especially when breathing in colder air. Painkillers are NOT stopping it anymore, and when I attempt to lay down to sleep it becomes infinitely worse.

My head can't make up its mind if it wants to have a neck muscle problem or a tooth problem. Go figure. Either way, ouch. To those of you on my Skype, forgive my total absence the past few days... and unfortunately it may last several more until I figure out what's wrong for sure.
