multimodal spinal manipulation for long-term recovery of fibromyalgia
A very interesting case report recently published that shows how a proper chiropractor treatment could provide a long-term recovery from fibromyalgia 🙂 https://finance.yahoo.com/news/scientists-identify-hidden-factor-help-120700088.html https://www.dovepress.com/cervical-spondylosis-as-a-hidden-contributing-factor-to-fibromyalgia-a-peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-IMCRJ

Failed Back Surgery
In 2017 I had a Laminectomy for Severe Spinal Stenosis in L3/4/5. The operation was successful and for 3/4 months I was completely pain free for the first time in years! In 2018 I had a bad fall and this resulted in having a Rotator Cuff Repair which was successful but by now my spinal pain was back

Spinal tap is Thursday
They plan to do the
spinal
tap
Thursday. Pending those results, they’ll make a plan. Brain radiation is off the table also pending
spinal
tap
results. Should the cancer be in sheath/spine, they do not feel brain radiation will be of benefit.

Spinal Cord Stimulater
I have a condition called Sensory Ganglionopathy and suffer severe nerve pain throughout my body 24/7. I am currently on Fentanyl patches which help a little and recently had two courses of Lidocaine infusions neither of which helped. I am considering discussing a spinal cord stimulator with my pain

Latest Bloods
Hi All I have tried since 26th October 2022 to increase my T3 with Liothyronine. A very tiny amount of 1.25mcg at night, it seemed to be working fine until 2 days after my blood test - high heart rate and increased sweating at night, feeling too hot during the day, despite the weather being so cold
