Good for you.

Looks like you are taking a B-100 Complex. You will likely benefit from adding 1000 mcgs of B-12 (preferably methylcobalamin.)

25 mcgs of D3 sure sounds small. You could add substantially to that, too.

Thanks Mark, it's been an awful 9 months and finally feeling some improvement has felt like a blessing.

It is a B-100 complex vitamin. I'll try and see what they have for vitamin B12 on its own and a higher D3 concentration vitamin.

Has there been any research into low levels of these vitamins possibly causing susceptibility to PCS? Just a thought. It's something I've been trying to look into but without much luck.

Thanks for the reply Mark!

I recently had cervical MRI and it came back negative. Does it rule out the C1 C2 instability? One PT told me that X rays are more precise than an MRI in upper cervical problems. I am going to visit a chiro in singapore soon and he deals with upper cervical issues a lot. I hope to find some answers soon.

I doubt a cervical MRI will show the subtle injuries. They are more about vertebral alignment and mild soft tissue injury, stretching and strains. A chiro who uses gentle upper cervical techniques may be able to help. Due to the mechanism of your injury, I am skeptical as to whether you could have sustained an upper neck injury. You head did not flop or whiplash around.

Thanks for the reply, Mark. When I hit my head on the wall, I instantly felt numbness in my limbs and right side of my face. Though it went away in a few days I can't let go about thinking that the numbness probably meant some nerve problem in my neck. What do you think ? Also does an mri rule out soft tissue injury? What other subtle injury can it be ?

Till today when I travel in a car, I feel some discomfort deep inside below my skull upon big potholes. The MRI showing nothing to be honest was a disappointment to me I am so sick of this mysterious condition
