Today, I visited a different doctor and it was much much better.  She was willing to parse out the different symptoms and offer hypotheses and ways to test these possibilities.  She ordered full blood work and, with the advice of a spine\/neuro brother team, a CAT scan.  Plus, since we know the neck thing is an ongoing issue, she&#8217;s ordered PT to help me further stabilize my neck without creating new injuries.  This is purrrfect since personal trainers, swimming, yoga, and pilates have all been abysmal failures.<\/p>\n<p>There are still lots of question marks, but I&#8217;m much happier with how we&#8217;re proceeding.  I feel like I&#8217;m being taken seriously and that she&#8217;s treating this like a puzzle to be solved systematically.  And she&#8217;s not focusing on treating the symptoms but getting at what&#8217;s underneath them.  w000t!<\/p>\n<p>Anyhow, thanks for all of the love and support and hopefully I&#8217;ll know more soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First, thanks y&#8217;all for your advice and support.
