VM is affecting my right leg and the bottom of my spine. It must have damaged my nerves does anyone have this problem? I also have night sweats.

I'm almost 4 months post VM. When I came out of hospital I had pins and needles on and off for months, several trips to the gp just resulted in them trying to give me anxiety meds. I have been anxious but I knew it wasn't just that. I had about a week of feeling not to bad 2 weeks ago and then I had a lots of burning in my thighs that has now changed to nerve pains in my back, hips, thighs, calves and feet and still pins and needles in my hands. My doctor has no clue about VM let alone what this could be so I've been referred to a neurologist and have a 15 week wait! I may have to try to go private. It doesn't seem that many people on here with VM have nerve damage so I would say get back to your GP. Good luck it may not last long for you fingers crossed

What you need to do is research P E M F

mats, this is what I use as much as possible. What kind of meningitus do you have? Viral or bacterial?

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
