Candida Glabrata diagnosis
Hi everyone, My son's headaches were being caused by candida glabrata fungal infection and was confirmed by a
spinal
tap
fluid culture. Has anyone else ever been diagnosed with this before. It's a very aggressive fungal infection. He has cirrhosis. The meds for the fungus can cause kidney damage.

I’ve had a

Concensus seems to be meningitis, but two different hospitals were unable to successfully get a
spinal
tap
. I felt grateful that I didn't seem too much worse for the wear as I continued to recover.

New Symptoms...
My brain MRIs show just a couple lesions and it was difficult getting a diagnosis until my
spinal
tap
results were consistent with MS. My biggest issue is fatigue.

Last resort he did the
spinal
tap
and "Voila." Since I'd been on The antibiotic, we couldn't confirm bacterial or viral. So they put me on IV antibiotics AND IV antivirals. I think four or five. Then after a week in the hospital they sent me to a SNF, for ANOTHER month on these IV MEDS.

Surgery Today!
I’m having spinal surgery today in my neck. So glad it’s finally happening but rather nervous too. I have cervical stenosis and myelopathy so I’m hoping this operation will stop the progression of spinal cord damage 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻. Has anyone else had this happen. Not sure if it’s RA related or not.

Heartened to know I am not alone in the struggles caused by pramipexole
I have had RLS and PLMD as long as I can remember. I’m sure all of those nights I struggled with symptoms as a child that were brushed off as growing pains…RLS. My mom suffers mildly. Unfortunately, both of my daughters also have many challenges that began as teens. What I’ve been through is so complex

Denosumab vs Bisphosphonates
Dear all, I will keep this brief so that I don't bore anyone! I am 55 yr female, and to my horror, fractured T12 out of the blue one morning two and a half years ago. Little did I think it was a fracture, so I walked and went to the gym for 4 days. This is with evolving neurological signs. Anyway,

Anyone had spinal fusion on T10-12?
I have severe osteoporosis and kyphosis from breaking T10-T12 and wondered if anyone has had this? They're recommending a spinal fusion to fix this or otherwise to live in a brace forever hoping the kyphosis curve won't progress any more than it already has. I'm wondering which is the better option if

Does spinal fusion help take away severe pain from kyphosis due to broken vertebrae? (T10-T12)
My doctor is saying that I need to get a spinal fusion because I broke T10 through T12 back in 2011 so over 12 years ago and it is caused severe phasis due to my osteoporosis and from never getting it surgically dealt with at the time. I'm working on getting my bones stronger and he saying that if I

Goitre and Spinal Surgery
Hi. I am awaiting Cervical Spinal Surgery but also have a multinodular enlarged goitre. The spinals team says the goitre needs to come out first before they can get to the discs in my neck. It’s all a waiting game at the minute. I have a very high anaesthesia risk too. Intubation is difficult for

Kyphosis treatment?
I have severe osteoporosis and severe kyphosis due to breaking T10-T12 ten yrs ago. I was in a brace for the first 8 yrs but now have not been for the last 2 years. I technically need a spinal fusion to fix my back but my bones are too osteoporotic. My Dr says I need to go back into a back brace to try

went off Xgeva for a year, have to go back on it. Ideas or tips helpful
Hi, the short version is I’ve been dealing w stage 4 MBC since 2019/ 2020 with mets to the bones since 2020, including a thoracic spinal fracture which led to a spinal fusion. I was put on Xgeva for a couple of years and later read on Xgeva’s website that being on it long term is likely to increase

Bring on more sh*t
Well as if the year hasn't been shit enough. I went into AF on Friday night and now on Digoxin and Eliquis blood thinners. This just tops my shitty year off.......I hope these 2 drugs don't make the RLS and nerve damage worse. The universe has really given me a kick in the teeth this year, with spinal

tortuous world of pain
I have no words, I have been to see 2 pain specialists, 2 neurologists for ongoing nerve damage pain, back pain and restless leg pain and symptoms..e.g continual torturing tugging, electric prod like pain and jerking of whole limb. I discovered when I had my last spinal operation that the Buprenorphine
