Thanks for being so welcoming. I left the first neurologist I saw because he offered no help besides a prescription for Cymbalta. At the time, I didn’t want to just cover this up, I wanted to try to solve it. I went to another neurologist who ordered MRIs, which showed nothing. She prescribed magnesium, beta blockers, physical therapy and massage. None of that has helped. I’ve been seeing a chiropractor since October and I thought it actually was helping. Immediately after adjustments I usually feel a calming coolness in my feet and the constant buzzing subsides for a little while. That gave me hope. I had one night where I actually fell asleep comfortably. But since then it’s been up and down. Now, very suddenly, my arms and hands are now buzzing and uncomfortable. I was under the impression that this would progress slowly so this is alarming. My hope that the chiropractor was helping is now dashed. This past week has been pretty dark for me.
