Welcome to Neuro Talk. You found a site with lots of good folks and information. Anytime there is a dizzy feeling I think neurological. So I agree with Sally, that your primary care doctor could send you to a nerurologist. Being dizzy can effect your appetite. I know about not having insurance, but in this case, it would put you at ease if you had a good work up. Also a gastrointerologist, or Upper GI doctor, can address that gastric reflux. That plus the loss of appetite he can address. Acid reflux if left go long enough can cause some unpleasant problems. Your doctor can help you get that under control too. I do wish you all the best. I hope that you are able to find out what is wrong, so that you can go on to your active lifestyle. ginnie

Hi again Rick. I actually had help with my MRI with an agency in the hospital. There is help available if you search for it. There are patient advocacy groups in communities. I also had much of my first spinal fusion paid for by asking the doctor to come down on price. Some neurologists will do the same if they know you don't have insurance. While you are young, you should look into getting insurance. The older you are the harder it is to get. ginnie

Ask the doc if he ran a vitamin B12 blood test. Being deficient in B12 can cause very simular problems. Good luck to you, Rick and stay with us and keep us updated.

Helloooooooo Rick!! Can you hear me now?
