Mini-strokes, brain fog, headaches- Jovana's cervical instability and Prolotherapy story

[@bluejay9235]

I relate so much to this, I've had these mini strokes constantly for about 6 months now, and the gaslighting from everyone around you telling you it's anxiety, or it's all in your head, or in my case "you're just making it up" is infuriating beyond belief!

[@Phalanx93]

I hope you can get the proper care you deserved!

[@samdavis6445]

Hi bluejay, I know your post was from a year or more ago but I'm curious as to how you found out you had the mini strokes after the six months. Did they spot them on a brain MRI with contrast or did you have a CT scan of the head/brain? thank you. Also, I hope you're feeling better and doing well enough.

[@francesg.1587]

Brilliant! Thank you! I had a mini-stroke from heavy lifting and carrying 250Ibs of shopping 60 feet in 9 increments at work. Spinal injury, right shoulder, abdominal aorta, lower abdominal pain, hip and right pelvic floor prolapse, swallowing issues (Cricopharngeal Bar from stroke/strain), neurological damage and carpel tunnel. I asked Workers Comp for Prolo for the carpel tunnel. It was denied and I was told it had to be surgery. I know 5 people who had that surgery. In each case the nerve was cut "accidentally"! I have to use a walker now and had to quit driving. Nobody cares.

Hi Frances, hopefully you can do prolotherapy instead of surgery. Wishing you the best, these issues are so complex and its important to find the right help. I think you being here writing this is a good start to God leading you to your recovery journey. I am praying and rooting for you! God Bless.

im a 28 yo from country of iran i have exactly every problem this girl had and every doctor here thinks im just anxious but i was doing pull ups and i felt like this and there goes the same exact story . im kinda convinced i have to be this way for the rest of my life . its been almost a month i cannot work . idk whats gonna happen next

Thank you for sharing your story I am fused from Occiptal to T2 but its been years of research and no options. I am so excited to see the work Dr. Hauser is doing. Thank you to all of you at caring medical

I'm so thankful she got the help she needed Lord knows I Been having pain for months after my fusion to my C7 the headaches are the worse to the point I get anxiety and my heart rate goes up..my spine specialist says the infusion did not take and it may because of my degenerative bone disease I'm just scared. To have more surgery and make it worse he says C1-7 all need repaired but i would be mobile😢

[@deeangelasidlo4651]

have to close one of my eyes ..... right eye . can also hear my heart beat in my ears. have a headache this morning

[@BlackOranges5758]

I have the same simptoms. How did you get rid of that?

[@fab123fab]

Great!

[@loveKG26]

I always feel something in my eyes too…. I had a feeling it was pressure fluids ext causing eye discomfort /flow issues. I’m happy I got a few year break after steroids from all sorts of discomforts. Praying it’s not all coming back ever. Inflammation in my neck isn’t safe it causes syncopal convulsions. Each doctor I’ve seen except a chiropractor gave me nonsense answers… I too have huge yawns once I directly went into seizure during one. I think I may try prolotherapy if I can ever find it near me.

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

We are praying for your complete healing! We understand how frustrating it can be to experience symptoms and not have any answers.

[@lyonsdavid]

I have all the symptoms too, and everyone keeps saying it's anxiety, it's so frustrating!!!

[@JacksonStar4757]

Same here! I got worse and worse bc of doctors saying I had anxiety it got to the point where I was too weak to even drive my car or fix my hair. I tried to tell doctors how the heck is looking in a certain direction or putting my hair in a bun giving me an anxiety attack?! Freaking idiots

[@Frododill]

Yes. Been dealing with this since the summer. Vagus nerve disorder, vasospasms, thought i had had two heart attacks. Was out of breath, could barely walk long distances, the GI tract was affected, had swallowing problems, could barely eat solid foods, dropped weight. My primary care doc chucked it up to anxiety. Finally the AO chiropractor showed what was happening in the neck, cervical instability. Its sort of cleared up, but I still get vasospasms.

[@MsItalianspice]

wish i ca be on your video..... so much to explain.

[@staciekanawyer4181]

This sounds just like me!! Omgosh, I’ve been dealing with this for 8 years.

I'm so pleased this lady is recovering ❤ May I ask, was prolotherapy injected into her C0/1 and C1/2 as part of her treatment?

Yes to the atlas and cervical spine.

Could be Hemiplegic migraines. I get them very scary symptoms are identical to strokes and end with horrible migraines. I get them and they are very scary.

Is there any relationship here between neck instability and COVID?

[@MeatFish.]

No lmao

Hi Ko Cho- We did a long webinar on Cervical Instability and Long COVID if you want to do a deep dive on the topic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmO6q2uhpZp2orc

[@karlinhahf]

in my theory, Covid can get your muscles overworking and cause issues with blood circulation. Also the coughing, in my case, got me like q whiplash problem.

[@vegangrepresent4140]

I got worse after covid

[@nickosrp]

Maybe do a special video explaining how those ligament problems can produce these symptoms.

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

[@Phalanx93]

I have the exact same symptoms as her! Can cervical instability be caused by habitual neck cracking?

[@asetia7]

Well I think yes. Because I have lots of symptoms but have never had any major accident or something. But yes I do keep cracking my neck often it always feels under stress.

[@Phalanx93]

@@asetia7 To be honest, recently I've had fallen with the base of my head hitting the armrest of a wooden chair. I've been feeling worse wooziness after that.

[@asetia7]

@@Phalanx93 That’s a big possibility of your symptoms then.

[@bluejay9235]

@@Phalanx93 I fell against a wall last year and had a very bad concussion, but no post-concussive symptoms presented until a few months later, but ever since then, I've had all the same symptoms this woman is describing in the video. One thing I'm 100% convinced of is that in order for symptoms this severe to occur, there has to be a major injury that preceded them. In her case, it was the tear that occurred in the gym, but as far as things like excessive cell phone use and neck cracking, that's stuff that everyone does now, and sure, it can slowly cause minor problems over time, but it's not going to totally ruin your life like this, so if you're experiencing anything close to what this woman or myself are, it was undoubtedly a result of your head injury.

[@Phalanx93]

@@bluejay9235 I've been ignoring the symptoms all these time until stumbled upon this video. Your words is my assurance to get properly diagnosed! Thank you so much!

[@celtglen]

Terrific, how do I get my insurance company to pay for the treatments? And do you house the people that come to you for treatment from out of state or out of town?

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

Hi! We do not take insurance, Caring Medical will provide you with an itemized statement (after your treatment) that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Some of our patients have received reimbursement, some have not - it is ultimately up to your insurance provider. There are hotels very close to our office however, it is up to the patient to take care of that. Some patients have found vrbos or rented during their treatments, whatever is best for you and your family!

[@engineeredtruths8935]

Looks like im visiting Florida soon, never thought I'd go to the US, but this is my last hope..

[@loveKG26]

Can this medical centre open something in Ontario Canada? Even if it’s periodic. Or start an affiliation with something similar already here, just to speed up or strengthen services of such available here!? There’s not many services that can deal with EDS types here or the neck in general. Peoples neck issues are ignored by specialists.

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

Hi Donna- Prolotherapy is the regenerative injection treatment that helps resolve pain and stabilize unstable joints. If you want to do a deeper dive on it, we have a FAQ video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYabiat-erSGqcU and a lot of written information on our website. Wish you all the best in health!

[@JacksonStar4757]

When has anyone's body ever went numb from anxiety?! They tried to tell me mine was anxiety too but sometimes only one side of my body would get weak, tingly, spasms, etc. Totally different than an anxiety attack where you just get shaking in BOTH your legs or arms and heart racing for just a minute or 2

[@-TheRealThing-]

@@JacksonStar4757 Are you serious? I guess you've never had an anxiety induced panic attack before, you feel like you're dying because your body is going numb starting from the hands & it moves up until you can't feel your arms or legs. The body does this to prioritise the important organs as it thinks you're in a life or death situation.

[@JacksonStar4757]

@@-TheRealThing- I had had panic/anxiety attacks and I never felt any numbness or tingling; just heart racing, dizziness, legs shaking, and maybe a mild headache for a few minutes. Can be different for different people I know but also like I said in my previous comment anxiety doesn't happen on just one side of your body. My attacks from cervical instability were some kind of seizure activity or mini strokes I'm just glad it hasn't happened in a pretty long time. I only had or 2 since I been getting my atlas adjusted and none so far since starting prolotherapy

[@-TheRealThing-]

@@JacksonStar4757 As you say, it can be different for lots of people. Healthline says this about it, You can experience anxiety-related numbness in a lot of ways. For some, it feels like pins and needles - that prickling you get when a body part “falls asleep.” It can also just feel like a complete loss of sensation in one part of your body. You might also notice other sensations, like: tingles the prickling of your hairs standing up a mild burning feeling While numbness can affect just about any part of your body, it often involves your legs, arms, hands, and feet. The sensation doesn’t necessarily spread through the entire body part, though. You might only notice it in your fingertips or toes, for example. It can also show up along your scalp or the back of your neck. It can also show up in your face. Some people even experience tingling and numbness on the tip of their tongue, for example. Finally, numbness might appear on one or both sides of your body or show up in a few different places. It won’t necessarily follow a specific pattern.

[@JacksonStar4757]

@@-TheRealThing- ok doctor then how would you determine if someone had an anxiety attack or a stroke/seizure? You would most likely ask what the person felt like earlier on in the day, what they were doing when the attack happened, etc. Jovana had said one of hers happened when she was doing a yoga pose and mine happened when I turned my head in a certain position. That indicates that it is not a panic attack and that something is wrong structurally in the neck to cause such severe symptoms when holding a certain position
