thanks are you still doing well? are you doing anything new re: your cervical issues?@Daffodil -- Many people feel sick after gandolinium, some of them severely so. If that's the case, it would be good to try to detoxify it from the body--I think it's considered a heavy metal. You may want to check into Sodium Thiosulfate (STS) baths, which are excellent for detoxifyinig a number of heavy metals.
thanks! i am relieved that at least others say they also had this i didnt even have a creatinine clearance test beforehand or any testingIt can cause damage to some organs. So any of these symptoms are normal sadly

i think i have this. what can be done about it other than surgery?Not doing as well--but OK. Am looking into "Positional Cervical Compression", which I posted about on the following thread: -- Fibromyalgia and positional cord compression

I have been in two significant car accidents with 2 significant whiplash injuries. The first injury dogged me for 15 years, til I finally got serious and did prolotherapy injections with testosterone, to stimulate muscle growth to support my neck better and physical therapy and weightlifting.i think i have this. what can be done about it other than surgery?
full function??? i dont even know what to say. nothing about this is ever clear cutI have been in two significant car accidents with 2 significant whiplash injuries. The first injury dogged me for 15 years, til I finally got serious and did prolotherapy injections with testosterone, to stimulate muscle growth to support my neck better and physical therapy and weightlifting.
Then came accident #2, worse than the first, 2 years later. Whiplash injury, 3 torn rotator cuff mudcles, and hip and lower back were twisted. Determined not to suffer, and with full blown ME/CFS, I carefully worked at it. At first, I had massage therapy and cranial/sacral therapy, and then physical therapy. Then, I had prolozone with nutrients and ozone to promote healing, and platelet rich plasma. Then lots of PT with a doctor of physical therapy, doing a lot of very fine motions to gradually correct my structure and position. I was very ill during most of this and it was slower tgsn fir normsl people due to how sick I was.
I brought jeff_w's story to the doctor late in the process, and she thoroughly checked me out. We concluded that I didn't seem to have the structural issues discussed in this thread, even though I had the significant injuries and have permsnrnt neck damage to this day, even though I shoukd be susceptible. I believe that the injections, the therapy, and a comprehensive nutrient support plan with collagen and muscle building nutrients has helped me work my way out of a potentially bad situation to have full function today. In 2012, years after the first accident, going over a speed hump wiyh my husband driving, was excruciating, and I held my head in any risky situation to protect my neck. Not any more.
I'll never know for sure but do think these various treatment modalities could help other patients in some circumstances as well.
Do you doubt I have full function, or can you just not imagine it? It's true, bytvit hsd taken a LOT of hard work to get here...full function??? i dont even know what to say. nothing about this is ever clear cut
ok i dont doubt it but do you have to do certain things to keep the full function? can you pull and all nighter and still be able to function the next day? can you work full time? can you do cardio?Do you doubt I have full function, or can you just not imagine it?

I have to keep exercising my back muscles, preferably by lifting weights or using exercise bands/cords. If I don't, my muscles don't support my neck properly. This is a challenge as we are supposed to stay home due to COVID-19, but I ordered some light dumbbells arriving tomorrow. and will be able to continue my program.i dont doubt it but do you have to do certain things to keep the full function? can you pull and all nighter and still be able to function the next day? can you work full time? can you do cardio?
I had significant brain fog and cognitive dysfunction which was related to chronic infections. 1 month of valganciclovir made it start to go away, and continued treatment for infections and mitochondrial nutrient support made it go away.can i know about the brain fog?
Yes. It was very low. It has not been tested since I've been better. My immunoglobulins were low as well.have you ever had NK cell function tested and if so, it is normal
Yes, chronic EBV, HHV6 and chlamydia pneumoniae made me worse.did you ever feel an infection such as EBV made you worse?
No, I think I had multiple things going on. My point in posting was that by all rights, I should have had neck problems contributing to my illness, given that I was in two serious car accidents with permanent spinal damage, and being very ill dealing with the aftermath, but due to the treatments, my neck slowly healed and got stronger with the injections and as I worked through the therapy program, while providing nourishment to heal.also, do you think it was primarily mechanical and helped by the PT/cranio
I see 2 neurologists and a top ME/CFS specialist who has sent several patients to Dr. Bolognese. I have discussed it with them. The main examination zi had was by the doctor of OT, with ejomI shared jeff_w's comments. She read through it all and moved my head and neck into various positions do that I felt that if I indeed had a problem it would have been very clear. This was very late in my recovery process and I had done a lot of work to strengthen my neck muscles and posture by that point.which neurosurgeon assessed you for CCI?
Sure.can i PM you plz?
