Not going down without a fight (Continued)
A couple of MRIs, a
spinal
tap
(which resulted in more evidence of MS and a
spinal
tap
headache), a study abroad course in Germany for his degree and a seizure which would take him off the road for 6 months all lead to the dreaded MS diagnosis.

How effective would a delayed lumbar puncture be in diagnosis of meningitis?
The 2nd time my doctor called ahead and asked for a
spinal
tap
for meningitis. The ER Dr told me if I'd had meningitis I'd be dead by now and refused. Sent me home with with benadryl & an anti-nausea med for my headache, not sure what that was supposed to do.

After an MRI and
spinal
tap
, my Dr confirmed the VM. While I'm unable to return to work I do like woodworking to clear my mind. The problem it seems is that all the bending over and going up and down intensifies my headache.

Using carbonated drinks to take Sinemet.
When I was recovering from back surgery, spinal fusion to fix sciatica pain I had down both legs, I was introduced to the idea of using ginger ale when I take Sinemet. I was at Medstar Georgetown University hospital and was visited by a doctor and a few students. It seemed to work faster. On top of that

Anyone who had bacterial meningitis please help asap
I don’t want a
spinal
tap
I don’t need one. But I’m terrified that I have it and if I don’t get treated right away I’ll end up dead or disabled. I’ve had gastroenteritis before but never had it last this long or had fevers like this. Please give me your stories and opinions!!!! Thank you!!

Boston scientific
I am just wandering if anyone else has the Boston scientific spinal cord stimulator implanted for crps. If so how often do you need it reprogrammed. I’ve had mine for about a year and a half and I’m on my 3rd program.

Too much NDT perhaps?
During the last year I've struggled to raise my NDT dose because i seemed to create adverse symptoms. However after about a year of taking various supplements for adrenal issues, I did get brave a couple of weeks ago and increased the dose by a small amount. Two to three weeks in, I seem to be tolerating

Not Parkinson's but I need answers
Spinal
tap
popped positive for Ms. Apparently they don't think that's what it is. Genetic testing showed it isn't nbia. Running 2nd round of genetic testing as we speak. I'm now developing lumps. One on my neck and one in my lung. I cannot urinate to save my life! I'm always in pain.

Acupuncture
Has anyone had acupuncture for severe back pain? I have had four lumbar spinal fusions, all failed, and now steroid injection has been suggested. I am very against this for many reasons but am a big fan of acupuncture for general health. Has anyone had needles down the spine and on the operation site

Acupuncture for back pain after spinal fusions
Has anyone tried this? Had the spinal needles yesterday and it was marvellous afterwards. Today feel really awful, in pain again and very depressed. The accupuncturist is no charlatan and top class in the profession. Obviously will be needing several sessions and I believe the results are cumulative
