I went to ER next day, I couldnt walk without feeling faint or weak, left side of head was numb, they did cat scan and Mri of brain and didnt see anything. antibodies were a little high so they gave me antibiotics. I been to ER about 10 times and nobody can find whats wrong.

I did have ear crystals worked on  it helped some but i still have dizziness, ear pain, temple pain, stiff neck.

cat scan and ekg of heart was ok,  neck mri shows mild stenosis.   when food hits my stomach or move neck i feel faint, loss of feeling in chest, chest feels shrunk in and like a sphere shoots through my chest.

Hi Brad and sorry about your condition.

It sounds like Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) from your account of symptoms,  treatments and details, along with some bacterial infection (from blood work as you mentioned) and possibly a fungal infection because of antibiotics, stress. possibly diet, which has likely effected your digestive system and may be contributing to many other symptoms, elsewhere in the body.

Please look into Candida, a yeast infection, and you may want to try a
self-test (not diagnostic but more like a screening tool).
Just search under " Saliva test for Candida". Fast,simple and easy.
If it is indeed candida, then you would have to follow a strict anti-candida protocol for a while.

From  doing a fast search, I found a study titled :

"Effectiveness of particle repositioning maneuvers in the treatment of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo: a systematic review",
which showed a very high degree of effectiveness in treating BPBV!

---Ref. PMID: 20338918 ---

So, should this be the condition you have, then you should find out about
receiving the canalith repositioning procedure (CRP), which is the treatment
used in the above study.

I hope this helps, however, my comments are not intended as a replacement for medical  advice.

Best wishes.
Niko

Hi. :) I don't have much helpful information about what you're going through, but I'm sorry that this is happening and I hope that you will find the care and treatment that you need for your symptoms. I pray that you will be better soon. Did the antibiotics take care of the bacteria in your blood? Bacteremia is very serious. Did the doctors tell you anything about this?
