GOOD NEWS for a change

[snorkle272]

Hello. I now have hope!!! For the past 18 months I had been falling, unexpectedly, at least once a week. No warning, no sensation, no dizziness - my legs just gave out on me. And of course I would get hurt. My psychologist suggested I see my chiroprator who had helped with the vertigo I went through 2 years ago. I went and saw him, had xrays done the same day and went back to see him 5 days later for the results. I had broken my tailbone twice over the years, and reinjured it again recently. The lower 5 vertebrae were compressed, and moving a certain way, the compressions would interfer with the nerves nearby. That is why I was falling! Since the first treatment 5 weeks ago, I have not fallen once. NOT ONCE!!!! I do the easy exercises and see him weekly. Yeah! Hip hip hurrah!! At physio where they are working on partial tears relating to my left shoulder it had been suggested that I be fitted for a cane and a walker. I was deeply depressed with both these ideas as you can imagine. Neither would go very well with me getting in the water in the Caribbean to snorkle! But now I have hope again of leading the life I want to. I am a 60 yr.old woman who had just started exploring the world. There is HOPE out there. You just need to find the right person.

Hi really please things are going so well for you I walk with a stick sometimes really good when walking on uneven ground, also people tend to give you more space.

I love snorkeling too, enjoy

Hi, I am very glad to hear that they have found the cause!

Sometimes we also fall from bad bloodsupply to the brain caused by HS/APS. I hope you will not stop anticoagualtion now.

Best wishes from Kerstin in Stockholm
