I know how important validation is to someone who has an unseen physical complaint, but has had mental health issues in the past, sometimes I think the mental health stigma is greatest among Drs.

Because it took so look to finally get someone to look at ALL the test results and finally send me to a neurologist, I continue to have some of deficits in the areas that brought me to the doctors in the first place i.e. swallowing problems, balance issues, etc..

As for the sexual arousal thing...... For me it took about 2 months. I never mentioned it to my neurosurgeon.....Go figure . I chalked it up to all the trauma/swelling in the cervical area, and consequently the pressure put on the nerves there too. As the swelling went down, and the pressure lessened against those nerves, the affect went away.

Do you notice if the feeling gets stronger or weaker depending on your activity? I told everyone, that while it was going on, I could have been very happily married to a pepper shaker....... Every time I sneezed......wow

I hope you can come to a solution, but I really think a mention to a neurologist is your best bet.

Good Luck
