Question now what?

ANSWER: Ryan,
You have been seeking out doctors who treat effects and therefore you have not gotten well at this point.  What you must do now is to seek out an Upper Cervical Specific Doctor of Chiropractic.  This is the only person that is specifically trained to detect and to correct brainstem pressure which IS the cause of your health condition.
I see it all the time in my practice, many of our patients have been to 20 different doctors before they come in to us to get well.  Because we simply correct the obstruction to health and healing, regardless of the symptoms or name of the condition, we get very positive results in every patient that follows our recommendations.
Since there are only 2% of all Chiropractors trained properly, we are very hard to find.  I can help you to locate one that is hopefully close enough to you so that you too may benefit from this care and get well.
Just send me your town and state, and I will reply back to you with at least one properly trained Doctor that can help you.

I have not forgot about you, it seems that there are no Upper Cervical Specific Doctors in your area.  Please write back to me in a couple of days while I continue my search for you.  I will find someone for you, although you may need to travel some to get there.

Answer
Ryan,
I am not coming up with anyone in Utah that I would be confident referring you to.  I do have a couple of terrific doctors that I know can help you, but they are far from you.  One is in Dublin, CA which is a good couple hours north of Los Angeles and another is in Boulder, CO which I think is a couple of hours from where you are now.  Here are both of their websites, look them up and try to get to one of them.  If you cannot then write me back and I'll keep trying for you.
