mel,

It sounds like you have a mix of PCS and other skeletal problems from your falls.

The PCS symptoms need to be separated from the other problems. The only way to do this is treat the other injuries. They should heal much quicker.

It is good to see that you have had some help with a chiropractor. You could add to that by finding a chiropractor who is a specialist in upper cervical chiropractic. NUCCA.org may be good for a referral. I am a bit concerned about the head and neck popping of a normal chiropractor. It may be too intense for your situation. Been there, done that.

Does you PT know how to treat Thoracic Outlet Syndrome? The right arm/hand tingling could be a symptom of TOS. The nausea can also be TOS caused. My PT has great skills at myofacial release and works on the effected shoulder and vertebra area. I was also treated by a chiropractor who did extensive tissue work before any adjustments. The PT and chiro had greatly overlapping therapies.

Your sleep issues sound like you may not be breathing properly when you do get to sleep. The frequent reawakening can be caused by apnea. Is there anybody who can observe you sleeping? It would help if they checked in on you and watched your breathing.

Ever since my injury in 2001, I have to be very careful about sleeping position. If my neck bends to much while I sleep, I stop breathing. This causes the restless sleep, etc.

I hope this helps.
