This feedback has been beneficial, From all perspectives it helps one begin to understand all angles. The problem is, in my opinion, simply put is not the question of chiro or doctors or pychologists, the question is finding one who is qualified, then screening those for the one who actually care to help. That Is where the problem lies, You can find someone with all the degreess and the knowledge and experience, but treat there job like an assembly line mentality, and pay little or no attention To knowing what Is going on. Instead of truly finding out what is going on, there arrogance gives them Power trips making clinical diagnosis w/o the taking the time and effeort to put all the can to support their so called "clinical Diagnosis" the end result is frustration. Some, Not all, doctors carry large amounts of arrogance, maybe that is attributed to the number of years they have been working, and find that throughout the years they feel less and less levels of fullfilment, or never felt it at all. I Praise those doc Chiro or dp or neuro, (whatever) that take the time and CARE to help, I am disgusted by arrogant assembly line docotrs, This is just my opinion, It does not prove or disprove anything. Thank You all.
Happy Thanksgiving.
God bless.

I agree with some of the points above however, I definitely was one person who had side effects from the chiro.  It doesn't hurt to go see one and talk with them however I would really give it some good thought before actually going through with the treatments.  I wish I had as I was skeptical before doing it in the first place.  I am more of a believer in alternative therapies as oppposed to medications however the thought of having someone manipulate my neck again makes me shudder!

You Think I sould? My Nuero, and The nurses their stated that Would be the wrong Thing to Do, Why Do You Think I Sould, He advised me they Could Really Screw Me Up. I Dont Know anything anymore, I hat to say this But this neuro pays Little/no Attn, and I Definetly will attempt to see another One. Let Me Know.
Thank You.

DO NOT SEE A CHIRO!  I visited one for the first time 7 months ago for pain in my shoulder and neck.  After about 6 visits, I experienced stroke like symptoms, ended up in the hosptial twice and had to go to a neuro who sent me for tests (cardio, carotid artery and head CT - all normal).  I am still experiencing numbness and tingling sensations all over my body.  My GP thinks it was from the chiro manipulation of my neck and spine and I am scheduled to see an ortho. doctor.  I know some people have experienced success with it but my personal opinion is, DON'T GO!

[Jazz101]

I haven't been for an MRI yet.  The waiting list is incredibly long.  I am going to wait until I see the ortho. doctor and see what he says.  Maybe scans of the cervical area may be all that I need.  I want to rule out any spinal issues before heading back to the neuro for more tests.  Good luck to you!

Thanks for the advise, That It was I Heard about chiro aswell, But My ex-girlfriend works with a chiro and she says that patients say nothing But The Best I Still Think, however that Chiro may be out of the questions, But I am still open for anything and cant close out any options at this Point.
Thank You Very Much for you opinion.
P.S. have you had an MRI done, That Is a very Good Test and very sensitive get it if you can with contrast, all the nuero on this forum suggest it. (i AM NOT A DOCTOR)

Sorry to hear about your symptoms. It sounds like you've had an extensive neurological workup that has fortunately not shown anything bad.  There's two things that I'm concerned about, however: 1. your foot which keeps dropping and 2) elevated liver enzymes.  There's a disease called Wilson's disease in which your body cannot process copper and this is manifest by liver, brain, and eye problems.  It's easily checked for by looking at a more extensive liver panel and copper studies, but easily missed as it often presents with psychiatric or behavioral changes first.  Everything is usuallly negative like MRI and EEG. I would think about seeing a movement disorders specialist about your foot, maybe they can pick up something called dystonia that everyone else is missing.  Also see an eye doctor for a formal exam. Not only can both help to rule out the diagnosis of Wilson's disease, but maybe they can help you figure out what's going on with you.  Best of luck.
