I sure wish I was there to give you big, big hugs. I think this guys has realized that his splint is not working and he is dancing around the issue. Okay, that is my gut feeling about it. I may be way off base, if so, please forgive me.

it up to my bite and he put it in... I started crying. It was just wonderful.

My list of symptoms have gone from this:
Fullness in right ear (gone)
Ringing in the ear (gone)
Pain in the ear(gone)
Pain, right side of my face, (controlled)
Numbness right side of face, running down jaw line to right corner of lip. (controlled)
Drooling (controlled)
Shoulder/neck pain
Dizziness(gone since chiro)
Vertigo – queasy stomach when that happens, not an upset stomach, just queasy. (gone since chiro) (says first rib was out)
Eye Pain (behind the eye, like being stabbed (gone)
Sensitive to light (controlled)
Sensitive to noise (controlled)
Droopy eye, right eye (still there but less)
Headaches, forehead, all over head (controlled)
What I thought were sinus headaches (gone)
Ghost tooth pain, back upper right, sometimes spreading to lower back teeth but not as strong. (gone)
Right lymph feeling swollen (controlled)
Crackling sound in ear (gone)
Crackling sound in neck (gone)
Watery eye – right one only (gone)
Blood shot eye, right one only (gone)
Problems with vision in right eye (gone)
Temple area pain. (controlled)
Soft food diet as eating hard things really irritates and makes symptoms worse ... still on soft food diet
Brain fog - (controlled)
rolled shoulders - (controlled - chiro adjustment)
Shakey/jitters - (gone)
hair sensitivity

Now my symptoms are:

on and off, quiet ringing in the ears, vs like having a high pitched wistle going off all the time.

Slight muscle tension below right ear in the morning, once up and moving around it is gone.

The tens unit relieved most of it.. please note that by days end, with much talking, the pain would start to come back and numbness, get on the tens unit for two hours and it was gone until the next night.
The chiro immediatley got rid of the really bad ringing in the ear and the dizzienss and vertigo,(she did that by adjusting the 1st rib... note not all chrio's are trained to adjust the first rib... this is real imporant.

Okay, I have now written a novel, Heather, any questions at all, please ask, the more informed you are before walking in the front door, the better off you are.

Many hugs, I hope my humor was not to much for you.
Diane
