Default hello there

hello,

for the past 9 months, i have been dealing with multiple neurological symptoms from cervical spondylosis, c-spine disc bulges and a herniation at c5-6 that is impinging on my spinal cord. after diagnosis by a neurologist in march who sent me to PT and admonished me not to have surgery, i self-referred to a few different neurosurgeons just to cover my bases who wanted to operate due to my structural c-spine issues, but did not feel that the bulk of my neuro symptoms are related to my c-spine.

6 months later, little has changed. i am dealing with tingling and numbness in my arms and legs, weakness in my legs, vision changes, headaches, and muscle twitching all over, among other crazy symptoms. i have had two brain MRIs and 2 c-spine MRIs which do not reveal any lesions. i have been diagnosed with a vitamin D deficiency for which i have been treated with a megadose for 3 months, and i am currently waiting for B12, MMA and thyroid bloodwork results that my neurologist ordered.

i am completely overwhelmed by all of this and my poor little family is suffering as well, emotionally, financially and physically. i am just here looking for some support and information from those who have been there in hopes of finding out what in the world is going on.
