Losing hope; Has anyone been told after getting ES diagnosis that if doctor can't feel styloids, can't be ES?

I am losing hope and very discouraged from ENT doctor I saw today Dr. Weismann at UCSD. Because he couldn't feel my styloids inside my mouth so he discounted my ES diagnosis. I renamed him the…Continue

    Hi, and thanks for the warm welcome.  I am so pleased to have found this site, as my diagnosis is so new, and nobody here seems to know what it is or how to treat it.  I live in South Africa, and have seen 3 ENT specialists who have no clue.  The one who diagnosed it, is only now studying it, and he has referred me to another ENT, who says he may be able to help.  My appointment is for Friday.   I am trying to find out what meds dull this horrific pain?   It never subsides, as I am sure you know.  Hope you are feeling good and thanks again for the welcome.
