I credit a lot of my well feeling today with 3,000 mg fish oil, 81 mg baby aspirin, and my Altenolol.. I hate phlebotomy but if I have to I have to.. I credit a lot of my high red cells to the altitude...I'm hoping my doctor gives me a prescription for a move to the Oregon Coast. Every time I go up there, I feel so great and sleep even better. OH and BTW the best hematologist I know of is in Portland.
Thanks again,

Thank you so much for that assessment. I have an appointment with a new neurologist this month... I would with your permission like to cut and paste it and take it with me to the appointment.
I love my PCP, but she believes that you HAVE to have 11/18 trigger points, and I'm finding out that is old school thinking.
I am nearly 5 years post MVA (rear ended) I have not had ONE day where I'm not in pain in one form or another.
Thanks for your input.

Long story short: I was rear ended nearly 5 years ago.. after all the hoopla of doctor, chiro, PT, I was referred to a spine specialist that ordered a nerve conduction study. When the results came back, he walked in accused me of being a drug seeker, and walked out. I was devastated! Fasf forward 1 year. I was referred to a physiatrist, that wanted another nerve conduction study done. So I went to the neurologist in her office, and the same test was done.. same results. Nothing "wrong" with me. It was at that point it hit me..I wass comparing the 2 NCD's & only the C5-8 is tested..WHY? I found out that a big part of my problem (but not all) was my C1(Atlas). I had that adjusted, but other problems remained. Can you tell me why the C1-4 isn't tested? and could that be the source of my pain in my neck. upper back, shoulder and humorous, not to mention the stabbing pain I get in my left ear?View Thread
