    Sorry to hear about your accident and symptoms.  Have you seen a doctor?  There are several things that could be causing your symptoms.  An MRI or CT scan may be necessary to diagnose.

      Yes. They just told me to go see my regular doctor and then my regular doctor told me to go to a neurologist.

      A neurologist is a good choice.  They should be able to determine what is causing your symptoms.  It took awhile before I was diagnosed with GBS.  The neurologist did several tests and ruled out several things before he figured it out.   I hope you can get in to see one soon.  It’s stressful when you have symptoms, but don’t know the cause.  Don’t give up, the right doctor will figure it out. I hope you get answers soon.  Hugs.

      I did go to the emergency room, all they did were x rays, took blood, took urine. Came back, said that I was fine. Then they told me to go see my regular doctor and now I have to go to a neurologist.
