Hi Jo*mar and thank you for your response. About a month before my bad vetigo problems started I feel flat on my face, real hard. That may or may not have caused my vertigo problems, who knows!!!!! One doctor said maybe, another said I have meniere's, another said migraine, another labyrinthitis, another said celiac. But anyway that was quite a few years ago before my latest problems so I don't think there is a connection between that fall my my swallowing problems.

But yes, my neck is messed up, years ago, before my above fall, I had an MRI and it showed lots of bulging and prolapsing dics. I have a constant achy neck and find it very difficult to look upwards towards the ceiling. My ROM in the neck is fair at best. So there are definite problems there.

I actually did see a chiropractor earlier this year after seeing my PCP, neuro, GI, ENT doctors with no help from them. Unfortunately the chiro wasn't much help either. He was a "functional neurologist" and my type of problem is right up his alley but he, like the others, has never heard of this. He put me on the elimination diet I mentioned above and had me to do some exercies for balance (which annoyed me because that wasn't the problem I was going for). With no change except for feeling more unbalanced I stopped going after about 8-10 sessions. I felt bad about that because he was such a nice nice person and truly wanted to help but I couldn't see spending any more money when it wasn't doing me any good.

Maybe I should try another chiro?? I know I do have neck problems but as to whether or not they are causing other problems I don't know. I've spent so much of my own money on co-pays and deductibles with no progress that I'm no longer at the point where I can say I'll pay what I can to find out what the problem is because now the money is no longer there and I'm getting tired of blind alleys.
