Default Re: Bad Neck aches.. (being treated for a stomach ulcer)

Sounds like a sinus /allergy issue LadyZ. The pressure, the fact that pseudophedrine is the only thing that brings relief and then the dizzy spells, which are a result of the facial sinuses irritating the inner ear, which is what keeps your balance for you. Basically, the dizziness is not a "round and round" dizziness, it's more of a swoon kinda thing, where you feel like "omg im gonna fall" for a few seconds. Personally, i'd pretend you weren't told it's untreatable, and treat it the same way you would a sinus issue. Psudophedrine is good, but can raise up blood pressure etc. and the newer P.E. sinus remedies don't work as well. I'd be eyeing food allergies and triggers to cause the blockage and swelling of the facial sinuses. I'd mix and match foods, targetting my favourite foods first, then working my way down. Cut out dairy and anything mucus forming. Sugar is a huge no-no for a condition like this. But don't let 'em tell you that you must live with it, i've cured things that other practictioners said were incurable. From IBS to CFS.
