butcher bird: it really is all connected. I don't know of a url, but I know there's a website that'll give you the cross section of a head---and you'll see how general congestion in the sinus-ear area can give you the feeling that your eye is about to explode. I seem to remember two different sinus cavities ...maxillary and something else???? All in that general area that can give you pain anywhere from your forehead to your upper jawline.

Folks familiar with sinus headaches know that pain--- the simple description would be that things have swelled to capacity and are pushing on everything around them.
