Sorry about the late reply, I've been kept too busy to answer before.
1. I've only had B12, general iron levels and Vitamin D tested. The practise with doctors here is to not really give you the numbers from results, but just tell you in a letter if they are ok or too low. From what my GP told me Iron and B12 specifically is within normal. I already have Vitamin D defficiency, and I am on supplements for that already.
2. If by ear rocks, you mean the crystals that form in you ear balance organs, then yes. I have actually managed to trigger dizzyness myself by attempting the manouver used for crystal sickness. (because sometimes it helps me with the dizzyness, and sometimes it actually makes it worse.) The problem is, I wont get the usual dizzyness where you feel like the whole room rotates as regular menieres attack for example. Instead, mine will be vertigo/feeling drunk or on a ship/dropattacks. With dropattacks I mean where it literally feels like my body collapses like a sack of potatoes right down to the floor.
3. Yes it can. But I think it's fairly important (and even more so for a doctor) to manage to separate actual physical conditions that can resemble psychological ones, from pure psychological problems. Almost every doctor I ever knew has a tendency to write off the most amazing (psychologically speaking) symptoms as "just anxiety" or "depression-related". They forget the single most important factor in initial psychological treatment:
Any......any at all...physical problem that plays a part in a psychological stress, can actually be the easiest entryway to better psychological health.
4. As for MRI's and CT's:
I have had:
Lower spine MRI, wich concluded with "large L5/S1 herniated disc, that presses on the nerveroots on the left side and touches on the rights side ones, smaller herniations in two more joints."
Neck MRI that only showed a "small herniated disc"
Jaw MRI: Right side jaw joint shows bone marrow edema and the joint surface shows suture-like changes and flattening of joint surface, as in arthritis. No fluid in joint.
Other that that I had a CT of the sinuses 1.5 years ago, nothing showed then, but my ears, sinuses (or middle back, or head or spinal nerves), or those channels from the ear to the nose have never been imaged by MRI.
Go ahead, pick it apart I really need the extra brain-power
