Chronic pain with so much to live for but so little feelings of wanting to.
I'm so fed up with chronic pain everyday myself. I had a spine injury from a spinal cord stimulator trial about a year-and-a-half ago. I lost most of the use of my left leg and live a life of chronic pain. I can get around with a cane but the pain is so bad I find it hard to do anything. Even sitting

Spinal Fusion
Hello I'm about to have a spinal fusion and was wondering if any other sclerry peeps have had the same and if your sclerry kicked off afterwards. I'm having a bone graft from my left hip and am worried it may weaken it as its the first of three. 😟

Spinal fusion L5-S1 for spondylolisthesis, pain worsening
Hi there, I had spinal fusion with instrumentation in Feb 2015 for grade 2 spondylolisthesis as all other avenues had been explored but to no avail. After a lengthy recovery things started to improve but then slowly worsened. Scans showed that excess bone had grown trapping a sciatic nerve which accounted

Raising money for Myelopathy
We speak to fellow sufferer and artist Margot Miller from Putney, Vermont. USA. ​Margot was diagnosed with myelopathy in August of 2007 at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville Fla. where she underwent four emergency spinal fusions. "I'd say I'm traumatized by them and that they happened without a second

Feeling Guilty
My Husband was diagnosed with Picks Disease 9 months ago. I am still working full time and feel so guilty about it. I blame me for him talking to himself due to him being on his own. I cant afford to stop working due to husband not working for years due to lots of other health issues. Crohns Disease.

Update- Diagnosis turned out to Guillain Barre Syndrome
So, after a CT scan, a
spinal
tap
, MRI and a nerve conduction test, he declared it to definitely be Guillain Barre. This condition is when your immune system attacks your nervous system and destroys the myelin sheath that covers your nerves.

My Current Situation
Hello all. Over the past few months, I feel my health has taken a turn for the worse. Now I'm finding myself deciding if it's wort all the suffering, or if escaping it all is for the best. I'll recap... 1986: Born, and immediately diagnosed with aortic stenosis with insufficiency 1998: On a trampoline

CLL in the Central Nervous System: Any Experience with Cytarabine (Cytosar)?
In three weeks, I'll have another
spinal
tap
to measure what, if any response I'm getting from the Imbruvica to the CLL in my cerebrospinal fluid. During the same
spinal
tap
, I'll get an infusion of cytarabine directly into the
spinal
fluid.

My journey so far... I need answers help SOS
Me and my dad headed to the hospital and they offered to do a
spinal
tap
to check for meningitis and I said no but they did ct scan and it came back normal. My concern here is does any one think I may have contracted a viral or bacterial meningitis and it went undetected ?

Is surgery good news?
So at last I have been referred for surgery....the Referral was going to take forever on the NHS so I begged, borrowed and stole to raise £295 to see a private consultant. My appointment was ONE HOUR long! Definitely worth the money for the peace of mind and confidence that he gave me. A week later I

Bacterial Meningitis and Pregnant
He called 911 and the hospital took a
spinal
tap
(lumbar puncture) right away. The neurologist at that point said I had to be in a more specialized hospital that specializes in strokes so a helicopter flew me to a hospital in San Francisco.

New emphasis spinal tap (again) to diagnose MS
This is likely most relevant to those in limbo withOut a diagnosis. Reading this article it sounds as if there is still much confusion https://www.medpagetoday.com/MeetingCoverage/CMSC/65585

New here, advice please
New here, this is my first post, I was told 2 years ago that I have thyroid antibodies, I've had my blood tested roughly every 6 months, but no one has gone into this in any more detail. I've just accepted that blood tests were ok & not really thought too much about it. However, I've been feeling pretty

Thyroid Antibodies.
Hi Does anyone have any information regarding the levels and ranges for thyroid antibodies, and how the levels are interpretated. We all know how Doctors stick rigidly to the TSH range so can we also think they stick to the antibody ranges when diagnosing hashi's. Both mine are near to top of the range

Looking for help and guidance on starting T3 only
Hi, I am looking for some help and guidance from you lovely people, having now run out of enough money to be able to buy meds/supps AND consult my private doctor (PD). You have been so helpful in the past :-) In March I saw a PD, he ran tests and diagnosed hypothyroidism (due to converting T4 to T3)
