Answer
Ali,
You are most likely experiencing the effects of an Upper Cervical Subluxation.  This is when the top two neck bones become slightly misaligned and interfere with the mental impulse between the brain and the body. I have seen numerous people who have come to me with a spinal fusion as well as health problems, only to find out that the reason for their surgery was the same symptoms that you are describing.  What a shame it is that the MD either is not educated about this care as a viable option that gets the results you are looking for without harmful surgery, of that he/she does not want to refer to another healthcare provider out of the Medical Field.  Either way it is a sad situation because the only one who really suffers is the patient.
So what ever you do about this, you do not need surgery, you do need to go to an Upper Cervical Specific Doctor of Chiropractic for an initial evaluation to see if you can get well there.
For a great referral send me your town and state and I will reply to you in a couple of days with at least one contact.
Please keep in mind that I only recommend the best of the best and that there are only a few hundred of us in the world, therefore you may have to travel for this care, but it is WELL worth it.

Yours in Best Health,
