10. So sorry for this.

I can sympathize. Four years ago I had 2 head traumas within 6 weeks, and I could no longer stand sunlight. It made me dizzy and sick and gave me terrible headaches. After months of dr. visits and an MRI, a neurologist finally diagnosed me as having broken the nerves on both sides of my head. I think it was the Alimentary nerves, but not sure I'm remembering the name right. They also found that 2 discs in my neck herniated and were impinging on my cervical cord by 30% and I could die or be permanently paralyzed below my neck if I didn't get tis fixed immediately. Just saying, sometimes it benefits you to keep on pushing to find out what's wrong. It took me 5 months of continually calling my dr's, telling them something was wrong, before I found out this dire information.

I had the surgery, disectomy at 2 levels with fusion and 3 years later my nerves finally have healed and I can go outside in the FL sunshine (super hot in the summer) and be ok. I can even work in my yard again without throwing up or falling down from dizziness. YAY!
