In the absence of a cause so far and I haven't looked thru that workbork for thorough diagnosis, idiopathic but heavy leaning towards toxic or viral. In fact I surmise I have accumulated buildup in organs/bones of toxins that are keeping this environment prime for a neural virus. Of course that is just a guess. I am going to try and get the other stuff done. I saw an Ontaryngolist at Duke for the Dizzy Spells and he wants to do a CT spinal tap something to look for spinal fluid leak into the brain causing some of the other vestibular symptoms and headaches.
I did the pain pills at first but started to notice I was worse off because I was forgetting what positions/motions/activities caused the pain and would constantly trigger it. I realized when I dialed the meds down a bit, I had more control and could stay within the limits and not trigger or aggravate the problem. When I was on Neurontin, every couple seconds was a trigger(I called it stumbling). I think the antioxidants have helped the most. The most beneficial for pain that acts like an Antidepressant is Grapeseed extract OPC-95 100mg(stimulates Norepinephrine and Dopamine, raises pain tolerance, increases circulation, thins the blood, kills allergies, etc). Then I take Gotu Kola daily and use Magnesium Oil on demand among other things.
