Hi everyone,

Recently I went to a NUCCA doctor after finding out Dr. Amy Yasko's methylation protocol was pushing my atlas out of alignment even more. This was causing toxic migraine headache each time I take the supplements. When I took anti-oxidant juice to relieve the headaches, they also took away the toxins in my joints and soon my spine and bones were wobbling all over the place, then I knew it was time to see a NUCCA doctor for upper cervical adjustment which someone had recommended to me earlier.

The first two adjustments went great. In fact here are the improvements I noted ...

- 1st adjustment, legs were even right away, previously one leg shorter than the other! Slight bowel/vagina ache, slight right side headache, more regular bowel movements? neck range of motion improved but a little bit crunching sound, runny nose afterwards, face smoother with smaller pores (better liver function? could have been the B2 + Ultimate B Complex), right trap released, then had a good sleep. bladder can hold more pee?

- 2nd adjustment, urinary infection coming out! better sleep again, upper back spine moved into alignment, was curved outward to my left! woke up with gut bug die off, could lie down flatter afterwards! brain sharper, more assertive (must have killed gut bugs!), and notice I am complaining more (h.pylori coming out? more like traumatic negative emotions coming out), some chest tightening


But then the 3rd adjustment scared me.

- 3rd adjustment, no more fatigue after treatment, just mild headache, shortly after appointment noticed I was more neurologically dysfunctional (didn't walk out of expensive breakfast place), that night I had twitching/thrashing in my sleep which woke me up, had dreams of "fear", thought that long term memory was improving based on dreams, 2nd night before sleeping my left palm had severe EMF pain from holding my phone, some healing in my left shoulder, woke up with more anxiety, worse short term memory, attention span, depression, .... more twitching, sensitivie hearing, EMF sensitivity, sensitivity to pain, .... now constant diarrhea esp after a meal (detoxing acids from liver?), since I am now able to sleep from 9pm-3am I am having less procrastination now, trouble breathing during sleep, gasping for air, .... could not enter deep sleep, felt disconnected from reality ... adjustments out of alignment again, jaw hurting


I watched the NUCCA videos on youtube, and I realize I don't think my doctor was doing it correctly? His adjustment was a single pressure applied to the back of my ears, on this third adjustment he pushed very hard near my jaw bone .. with his entire body weight pressing down. The other side of my head was hurting from the hard surface.

I'm scared now and probably not going back there. Did he mess me up? I did a quick search on this forum and found a post by PLittleLMP saying that the sphenobasilar joint needs to be adjusted first? I did some googling, and I think I may have it since I definitely had issues since I was a kid, I was a needy/fussy baby, headaches coming from the eye, failure to thrive as an adult, easily criticized, difficulties letting go, etc. Any recommendations for a good one? (in either USA or Canada ... getting kinda desperate so I am willing to travel outside of Canada). Preferably one that is familiar with Lyme Disease as well.

I have already seen dozens of doctors, spent thousands of dollars on treatments, supplements .... would like to see someone who really knows their stuff.

I'm also wondering if these things show up on a head MRI. I had a fall on my back as a kid, S.I. joint injury in university, and low back injury at my first work place (which I went to regular chiropractor afterwards and I believe he was the one who messed up my atlas severely as it triggered my fibromyalgia, sleep issues, bladder issues, gut issues, poor mental health, everything which I had been suffering from for the past 10 years until now.

I also recently found out I have Lyme Disease which I guess makes things more complicated. Anyone else been in similar situation? Below are all my symptoms and diagnoses.

As A Child
===========
Born with Jaundice, was a bit yellowish on second day, same with my sister and cousins (treated by being put under light, father and his family has Hepatitis B, father is type AB blood, mother is type O, and I am type A according to my father)

Waking up with every muscle in leg being “ pulled” like deep bone or “growing pains”
Waking up dizzy upon standing
Suddenly fainting during the day (mother and sister had this too when young)
Low side of normal blood pressure (woke up from bed feeling like fainting)
Skin Rashes/Sensitivity
Adrenal fatigue due to stress from emotionally abusive narcissistic mother
Light Sleeper (easily awaken by noises, etc)
Shortness of breath (could not run or swim as far as others my age)
would fall asleep during dinner
always yawning
very picky
occasional nightmares
very ADHD and hyperactive
Aspergers

Always late for everything
I can only learn by trial and error and intuition, unlike normal people. Always last one in class to finish copying notes ... cannot listen and write notes at same time. Cannot follow lesson in class
Poor time management (eg. not being able to finish exam because of spending too much time on earlier questions)

It does not sound like that NUCCA chiro is using NUCCA technique. The NUCA chiro who worked on me did multiple very gentle adjustments.
