Arachnoiditis  (Read 1987 times)

Hello Everyone,
Well I was given my dx today. I have a spinal disorder called Arachnoiditis Disease. The bottom of my spinal cord looks like a spider, hence the name. My neuro said it was caused by either my lumbar spine surgery or the many spine epidural injections I have had. There is no treatment or cure. They can only treat the pain. It is a progressive disease that can cause paralasis. I am pretty bummed out to say the least. I thought I would be happy with a dx because I thought then I could be treated and be on the road to recovery. I can't be treated and I will never recover. I guess I have a really negative attitude right now. maybe I'll feel better tomorrow.

Thanks for listening,
Lisa

Oh Lisa, I know it wasn't the best news, but at least now you know why, which is better then being in limbo.

Keep fighting!
