Default Many Drs many tests

Jaime,

Thanks for the reply. I have been to see 10 Specialists in all so far, have had 4 MRIs, 6 rounds of blood tests, an EEG, a CT Scan and a sonogram- none of which turned up anything besides some minor herniation in the C4-5 and C5-6 ad silent sinus disease. I've fixed the discs with PT long ago and am heading into surgery for the sinuses even though everyone agrees that there is a slim chance that that will solve all of my problems. Since my first Neuro seems to not know what to do besides ordering the next big expensive test and the 2nd one suggested I try anti-depressants (even though the Psych disagrees), I am doing a lot of research on my own. I have headaches but not constantly. In fact nothing is constant which is part of what seems to confound. My symptoms that come and go are dizziness, generalized muscle weakness, coordination & dexterity problems, memory issues and stabbing headaches in various places on my head (always in one spot at a time). Hopefully the cultures they run on my sinus matter will shed some light. I am starting to get really frustrated. sigh

I haven't really been much help, but I hope you are able to find some answers soon. I think you need to find the right doctor, preferrably a good neurosurgeon, and to have an MRI.
