Answer
Dear ElNinio,

Thank you for your question.  

Even though medical diagnosis is not a service that I would provide in my field, I would say to you that diagnosis under the best of circumstances is something of an art.  It would be irresponsible for anyone to give you a guess by e-mail or the web about your situation.  Diagnostic work and therapeutic advice is difficult enough when done properly.  It becomes a riskier proposition when done poorly.  

You would be best served getting opinions from someone with first-hand knowledge about you, not a limited acquaintance through correspondence.  There is apparently a lot of confusion and frustration regarding your findings and your descriptions reveal a certain lack of clarity in the information.  Anyone who is willing to speculate about your situation by e-mail is providing you little more than a guess and perhaps a dangerous one, at that!  

ElNinio, I hope you understand the seriousness of this advice and seek appropriate information in person from a qualified provider.  

Sincerely,
James W. Healey, D.C.
