Mark In Idaho,

Thank you for getting back to me. I also had an MRI done of my Cervical spine and it also came back normal. I started physical therapy yesterday and the therapist told me that she felt my suboccipital muscles to be very tense. She massaged it a bit and provided some traction to my head and neck to help alleviate some of the tension. She believes that the headaches are related to the suboccipital muscles. She also showed me a few techniques to help with the tension.

As far as the EEG goes, I am not too sure what that is. I think at this point the Neurologist is just trying to do all he can before he really says he doesn't know where the pain is coming from.

A normal day for me is waking up like I was hit by a car. That is usually felt because I am lucky if I sleep 4-5 hours a night. Some nights the pain in my back and head just keep me up. I start my day off with some breakfast and then usually I have an appointment or 2 to attend for the day. If the weather permits I will go outside and go for a walk or just get out of the house. I have too much pain to work out at the gym. Finally 6 months of complaining about my knee, my Workers Comp Doctor did an MRI of my knee and found out that I also have a tear in my ACL and Meniscus.

Then for the rest of the day I try to stay busy. My wife has me trying to avoid television and being on my cell phone. I rest a lot due to my headaches, fatigue, and dizziness.

And then some days I have these episodes to where I am so confused and disoriented that I cannot even function. It feels like I do not have control over my body. On those days, I lose my appetite and everything is a total blur. My wife actually has to feed me because I can't feed myself. And usually my head pain on those days is along the lines of 10/10.

I have also explained these "episodes" to my Neurologist and he says he can't see how I am having these symptoms.

I have not started work because I am a Correctional Officer and my job was unable to find my any type of modified duty. And now due to my knee I am completely placed off of work.

The confusion that I mentioned usually comes during these "episodes" I have. I just be having a regular day and my pain increases and then it is on from there. So even low stimulation can bring this on.
