Person presents with 7+ years of #Dizziness #Imbalance #Anxiety and #EmotionalInstability
Multiple #Neurologists and #ENT have examined and imaged and said results were normal and recommended #Ativan #Xanax and #SSRI medications. This person does not want medications.
I reviewed the medical records from above doctors and found multiple #FunctionalNeurology abnormal findings in their diagnostics. These findings are DEFINITELY relevant to the case and NOT normal.
My examination confirmed the findings (still there 7 years later...it WILL NOT "just go away").
I have confirmed neurologic abnormalities. Now we must determine WHY they exist.
A history of #TBI #TraumaticBrainInjury from a golf club is one factor.
#Cerebellum #Autoimmunity is another likely contribution, so is #GlutenSensitivity based on family history of #CeliacDisease (Mom). Lastly, a long history of #IBS implicates #GutBrainAxis contribution to metabolic dysfunction.
Lab results will clarify these hypotheses.
I love what I do!
