Update - things are looking up!


Great news!!!

I had my three month Xrays at the Chiropractor this week and he was very impressed with my improvement. The sideways curve in my middle back - the one causing all my sleep problems - is almost gone. My neck still needs work as the curve had reversed itself but with the help of my chiro the neck is almost straight. Now I am doing excercises to put the normal curve back into the neck. He feels I have improved to the point where I can now come in once a week instead of three times a week.

I feel much better. I still have had no dizziness *frantically knocking on wood* but I do have some tipsy spells still. Very rare and very mild. I can lift without getting dizzy but I still have to be very careful or I will start getting pressure in my head - a warning of course. And the vibrations in the affected ear have lessened but do appear after I've done too much work.

The chiro doesn't know how all this came about but I suspect it started with the dislodged jaw, followed up by the whiplash accident which just accelerated the symptoms. My massage therapist thinks it was all those nasty splint adjustments that may have made my spine in the neck probably go out of alignment even more.

Now I have to figure out how to ditch this doggone splint as my chiroprator is wondering why I'm still wearing it 24/7 after two plus years!!!

Later,
