Please help! Undiagnosed health continuation,

After a holiday to Dominican republic in October 2010, I became very unwell, I developed tinnitus and kept experiencing vertigo, lost my appetite as I felt nauseated and exhausted had an upset tummy and subsequently lost 3 stones in a few months.. The docs gave me some gastro resistant tablets which stopped the tummy upset but then I did not go at all! Since then my symptoms have gradually changed and worsened, I kept getting chest pains, my heart would race and I suffered panic attacks and night sweats, I have a low immune system and seem to catch everything going, I am tired all the time and my jaw glands come up randomly now and again but in the last five months I am now experiencing the most horrendous headaches, my eyes are suddenly full of floaters, the tinnitus gets louder, my neck is stiff and I feel pressure across the back of my head and my ears pop. I feel weird sensations in my head, tingling, burning, tickling, bulging and shudders they last up to two weeks, then I get a few days off and they are back. Docs have not referred me, I just keep being given pain killers and treated as neurotic, ECG and bloods came back normal. I am depressed and desperate now that this has gone on so long and am terrified... Please help!


This discussion is related to Swollen neck mass, headaches, fatigue, stiffness, floater, and tinnitus. Help!.

One thing they can check for intestinal parasites. The next is something I am going to post this to as many undiagnosed issues as possible, because this is so unknown in the world... So many of us have lived so long with undiagnosed "diseases".

After a half-a-dozen Dr.'s, blood tests for every disease, x-rays, cat-scans, and MRI's, nothing is "wrong" with us! WHAT? Tell me why I can't walk!!!! Someone - PLEASE!!! My life is ruined, and it's so lonely on the couch watching life go on with out me! In time, the Dr.'s start to look at me as if they had finally come to realize it's psychosomatic, because there's nothing officially "wrong" with me! In fact, the Rheumatologist I waited 2 months to see, said that the head tremors was from stress, and I should see a psychiatrist!.... That will be $350 today!

My symptoms would come and go with severity and length of time, but they were getting more and more debilitating. My thigh muscles and knees were so weak at times, that I could barely stand or walk with out help, or a walker and wheelchair. I had head tremors like Parkinson's, and full-on body quakes that would vary from 30 minutes to a week. Some days I could walk great, then, BOOM!, I'm down again. I only felt intense pain at the base of my skull and upper neck. Sometimes I would have extreme pain in my right hip joint.

What became my solution and abolishment of all my symptoms that the Dr.'s don't even know about? It's not pills or nutrition ~ it has to do with the neck bones! What I'd like to see happen, is after all their tests come back negative, the Dr. should ask, "Have you ever been in an accident, or have fallen hard?" (Which is most common, but other things could have caused it). The next statement..... "You need to see an Upper Cervical Chiropractor to see if your neck bones, at the base of the skull, have been knocked out of place. Many of your symptoms can be caused by the nerves being pinched off and unable to communicate to the brain."
And I'm not kidding! It can mimic; Parkinson's, Lyme, Arthritis, Lupus, MS, and even seizures can happen!

I'm here to promote the awareness of the practice called "Upper Cervical Chiropractic". My x-rays revealed that my neck is actually curved backward, which is what  had caused the scoliosis in my back! And, of the 2 upper bones, one was tilted and the other was turning - pinching off the nerves that work my legs. It's been about 2 months after my adjustment, and I've have had none of those symptoms from that day forward!

Even if you have found that this is not the case for you, keep this in the back of your mind so that when you're talking to a distraught friend, you may have their solution! Youtube has some information on this....
All the best wishes, Gretchen

Wouldn't that be great? Can't wait to hear... If my amazing husband hadn't met my doc, I would probably never know why I was becoming a cripple with no disease!

I just think of what I could have done with all of the thousands of dollars I've spent over the decades chasing a disease that didn't exist!... no more waste now!

One more thing, ear ringing is very common with this problem, as well as virtigo. My Doc said that anxiety can come on during healing, as well as before hand, but that it will subside. So, apparently, it is all connected somehow.??
Anything a disease can do to destroy your nerves and block information to the brain, a pinched-off "nerve bundle" can match it symptom for symptom.

You're soooo welcome!I had 7 months not knowing what my body was going through, and not one specialist could tell me. I was a cripple! You have got to see an "Upper Cervical" chiropractor. Regular chiropractors are helpful to a point, but they only temporarily fix the problem. They're adjusting the after-effect of the top 2 bones in the neck being out of place. They generally are not specialists in that kind of manipulation.

I will tell you one thing; if your neck is backward, it means some kind of trauma happened to it years ago.... If you get it corrected, you will get instant relief of many of your problems. Mostly your head aches! Your curve may never go back to normal, but it won't matter. You will be amazed at what crazy things can happen when the nerve bundle gets pinched. It was like I had MS and Parkinsons - but didn't!

This Dr. only did 1 treatment, and it has stayed in place so far. My whole body stucture has been adjusting ever since. I have never experienced the new position of my hips rotation back to the correct posistion! It's so cool.

My accident happened at age 3, I am 47 now. The Doc didn't adjust one other bone in my body, it all followed suit down the line and corrected itself!
I'm excited for you! Keep me posted!

Wow thanks so much Gretchen, its funny you say that I did see a chiropractor a few months back as I suffer with lower back pain and as was suffering with my neck, he did an x ray and I have no disc whatsoever in the very bottom of my spine and my neck is also curved backwards, but every time he manipulated the area it made my headaches worse and so he advised me to leave it alone! what else can I do? any further advice would be much appreciated x

Hi  I think I got ur problem.  I think that u should start taking vitD medicine. I m sure it would help u.   But I think tat first u should take doctors advice about this .    Vitamin d will lower the tingling , tickling and other effects too.    These effects are due to low levels of vit d .        :)      I hope u will get well soon
