Kelly,
I do believe there is a link, but medicine is not advanced enough to join the dots and we did the same, we went to countless specialists all with long gaps in between appointments and we also went out of insurance spending lots of money. My man was basically left to rot. I would love to see support groups in place to help this awful suffering. Nurses that help to follow the patients from specialist to specialist, neck braces designed the list is endless. Much love to your family.
