Hi all,

this is my first time on this forum, am looking for some advice if at all possible. A brief history: I started feeling unwell 3 years ago. By unwell, I mean a vague feeling of motion sickness, or mild nausea, not unlike car sickness. This is totally persistent, but varies in intensity - when its at its worst I really just need to lie down and cannot work, as I have difficulty focusing, cannot concentrate. 3 years ago I lived in Scotland, and had all the blood tests, GP checks, and various opinions. All test came back negative, and i was told it was probably a virus, to stay healthy, and it would burn itself out. Later, I realised that I had tinnitus, and full ears - the GPs ruled out ear issues, however, (based on my ability to snowboard) and I was left to get on with it. I should say that the only way I found relief was through excercise, or through a sauna (has been suggested this was my body and muscles warming up). I moved to Australia 2 years ago, and immediatley went to see a GP. CT scans (brain) and audiology testing were negative. ENT assessed me, had Wikipedia reference-linkMRI and further audiology done - negative. He said my symptoms were consistent with central disorder. I have been seeing an OT who recognised tight SCM - she performed trigger point treatment with success - I feel much better for the day, but wake up the next day feeling sick again. Chiro xrays show mild pelvic tilt, mild Wikipedia reference-linkscoliosis and severe sublaxation of c1 c2. His adjustments again make me feel better for a day or tw, but it does not last. I have a cross bite, had splint therapy done (6 months) with 0% improvment. I am now seeing a physio, who has been doing active release on my suboccipitals among others - same effect..feel better for a day or two. My SCMs are now improved, but my left scalene is hyper tight. Something I find when I am feeling really ill is that my back around my tailbone is very tight, and I even ripped a muscle on the left side at this area recently. I apologise for the length of this, but theres a lot of info. There seems to be some perpetuating factor here, which my health care providers cannot see.....can anyone help? I have been trying so hard with the various stretches etc which have been recommended, but nothing seems to work! Thanks in advance.
