TSH suppression turning into a real problem
I have been told I do not have autoimmune encephalitis, after the
spinal
fluid
tap
results came back normal, but cryptogen epilepsy (= unknown causes as they cannot find any brain damage).

Spinal cord stimulator: one year later
I have Complex regional pain syndrome in my left arm which occur due to a fracture to my ulnar styloid. In 2016 I had a spinal cord stimulator implanted to help control the pain and allow me to have use of my arm. I was lucky enough for it to work well for me. In feb 2017 I started training as a chef

I’m new here
I was diagnosed in April of 2011 with metastatic Breast Cancer. I am being treated at Sloan Kettering in NYC. My metastasis had spread to lymph nodes, spine, and bone. I was treated with hormonal anti estrogen meds and participated in three clinical trials. No drama until spring of 2016 when I began

Anyone with spinal cord stimulator?
I'm considering one for neuropathy in my feet. Not diagnosed with MS yet (going to MS clinic on Thursday, yay!). My pain doc said it might be hard to get insurance to cover it for MS related pain. Curious if anyone else has one?

Private blood test results
Hiya! Since my last post, my GP diagnosed me with an underactive thyroid. She started me on 25mg and recently increased to 50mg. I've just had a medichecks test done (mainly out of curiosity as they won't test my T3). Are you able to help me understand the results? Thanks in advance. TSH - 4.5 (0.27

REPORT ON FIRST INFUSION OF REMICADE (100mg INFUSION). HERE IS WHAT IT WAS LIKE.
(Maybe if it is a fear of needles, that made a "
Spinal
Tap
" seem much worse and awful, when it really isn't that bad if you aren't afraid of needles.) Then, you can judge for yourself, an individual, with your fear or lack of fear for certain things.

Family who refuse to accept you have MS and demand you do what they want
She was even in the room when had my
spinal
tap
. Once she found out I had MS, she would demand that she go into my appointments with me but I would never let her. For some crazy reason I said ok.

Pudental Neuralgia
Prior to having a Spinal Cord Stimulator implanted I had another lumbar MRI. I knew from an earlier MRI I had a bulging L5S1 disc This MRI showed the L5S1 disc had ruptured. I have read on line this can lead to Caudal Equina Syndrome as well as cause compression of Pudental nerve via the Piriformis

May or May Not have PC
My PSA is 44. Has been gradually increasing for about 8 years. I know the PSA itself is of little value, but see it as a tool. My Naturopath has had a number between 60-100 for 20 years. I would only become concerned if it started leaping upward. One biopsy was enough. Won't do another. No surgery. No
