Just back from my doc app't. She's just a great doc. She has scheduled an MRI of both my head, and now neck, for next month. She's suspecting that I very well may have a pinched nerve in my neck from the whiplash and she is thinking that if that is the case, a lot of the physical stuff can be attributed to that. She has also put me on a medication called Amitriptyline. She wants to start me out very slowly since I am not a big fan of meds, and then we'll reassess in two weeks. She is also recommending acupuncture.
She has talked to me about dealing with the short term needs first and then has acknowledged (and I'm so happy she has) the need for long term treatment here. She has made me feel very safe and relieved so very happy I found this doctor and didn't have to go through several before finding what seems to be a good one.
Anyway, that's where we are today.
