Update to Struggling with my recovery

[markmorris71]

i all I just wanted to update my post with regard to struggling with my recovery. Unfortunately my recovery appears to have levelled off. I am still unable to work or drive or do many of the things i could before. My frustratin has not really eased especially as an old shoulder injury has resurfaced and is also now hampering my physio! My GP has now referred me to a rehab centre specializing among other things in neurology and physical recouperation.

I am starting to accept that this is going to be a long process to recovery but that people should push for help when you need it. Everyone is so different after having this brutal illness (which i assume is why there is no set plan for recovery - although having read some of the stories on here, the medical profession needs to catch up and realise the seriousness of the illness and its wideranging and serious consequences).

You must push for help.

Regards to all

Hello, You can find my 28 year old daughter, Rosie S' Story, via the link on the forum stories from the home page.

We found that cranial massage worked wonders for her. Her job is working with horses on pretty much a daily basis and is very physically demanding.

It is rare for a story to be so positive and we have tried to let people know that this amazing complementary therapy worked for her. It helps release the spinal fluid which VM leaves a blockage for. Rosie is pretty much cured after around 10 sessions coupled with actupuncture, although found awesome relief after only one appointment. She is now free of all pain killers and antidepressants and feels right back to her old self.

We can only let you know what worked for her. It's not for all, but has now given amazing relief for many. It seems the success could be to do with the skill of the cranial osteopath you use. So it is important to find out the osteopaths credentials and experience in this specialised field particularly dealing with VM sufferers, if you can. (Not all osteopaths realise that this helps VM sufferers, it is often carried out on young babies with birthing problems). You need an osteopath and not a therapist who mearly has some training in cranial massage.

If you find you are getting the violent headaches and feeling lethargic and depressed after a few weeks, give this complementary therapy a go, it really could be worth it and save you being on prescribed drugs, along with months, years, of unnecessary suffering.

Kind wishes and best of luck

Many thanks for your reply

I recently had an MRI scan to see what, if any, damage is visible on my brain. This may offer some explanation of my symptoms and possibly ideas for a better recovery.

p.s. up to 4 hrs 3 times a week in work so definitely moving forward! If a little slowly
