Hi all,

Hope you don't mind me posting on here, looking for some advice. Long story will try to keep it short. Basically I fell down a very steep flight of stairs when on holiday. On the way down I kept my head off the stairs but the back of my neck (with the pointy bit between the shoulder blades (technical description ) is) slammed about 20 steps on the way down until my foot and arm stopped my progress. I was sore for a few days with a broken toe and bruised arm, but I didn't think much about it. I remember feeling quite tired that afternoon but thats about it.

The next few days went by no problems, then about a week later, all of a sudden I couldn't move and felt like I'd been hit by a virus, really bad headache, stupid dizzy and worst of all, loud tinnitus like after a rock concert - a constant sizzling noise/white noise/high pitched.

I went to see the doctors and they thought I might have MS as it runs in my family. However I went and had an MRI, by now about a month had passed, and I was clear for MS and no signs of any problems with my brain, upper neck. I was referred to physio for suspected soft tissue damage.

OK so that was a year ago, and I'm still dizzy, but not like vertigo is supposed to be, more like a visual disturbance, difficult to keep my eyes open, difficult to focus my eyes, and I don't like bright lights. Am I a vampire? I guess my vision slightly shimmers would be a way to put it.

My neck is still stiff and sore and I get Shiatsu once every 10 days which does seem to help. I did physio for three months and it did pretty much nothing.

I'm about to be referred to an ENT as I have a sinus like pressure between my eyes and a headache just above the pituitary gland area. I think my GP thinks I'm mad.

The biggest problem for me is that I feel like I have to try about three times as hard to focus and concentrate every day, this brain fog I guess. But as the doctor said the MRI was clear I have no idea what's going on.

Any suggestions greatfully received.
