Pain doesn't describe it.
Lord.
Flying from Cleveland to Savannah, and during the descent, it felt as if the area from my left eyebrow down to my left cheekbone (which, of course, includes the left eye) was going to explode. It was awful, and am I ever glad I found this thread. My left nostril was a little blocked, but it wasn't anything unusual. Earlier in the day, we flew from Allentown, PA to Cleveland, so it was my 2nd flight of the day.
I didn't drink as much water as I usually do, and I ate more cheese than I usually do (damn you, Presidents Club!!!). I'm somewhat lactose intolerant, so maybe the combo of the two did me in? Who the hell knows. All I can say is that I'll do everything in my power to make sure I never, ever go through this again.
