About Me

HI TO ALL.I AM A CHRONIC PAIN SUFFERRER/MS CANDIDATE....MEANING THAT I HAVE BEEN DX'D CLINICALLY WITH MS,HOWEVER, NEED FURTHER PROOF FOR MYSELF AS OTHER THINGS CAN MIMIC MS AND TO BE TREATED FOR A CONDITION THAT I MAY NOT HAVE,WOULDN'T BE GOOD :) I AM CURRENTLY UNDERGOING TESTING AT UCSF WITH A BRILLIANT NEURO.ONLY THE INITIAL EXAM HAS BEEN DONE SO FAR.HE SAID THAT THERE WERE BLACK SPOTS (QUITE A FEW), ON MY HEAD.HE DIDN'T LIKE MY REFLEXES (TOO BRISK),AND THAT I HAVE A DEFINITE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISORDER OF SOME SORT.I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS (DAILY), SX'S THAT WOULD FIT MS FOR 2 YEARS AS WELL AS EXCRUCIATING PAIN DAILY UNTIL THEY PUT ME ON BACLOFEN AND GABBAPENTIN. I'VE HAD RELIEF FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS.THIS BACK PAIN HAS BEEN AN ISSUE ON AND OFF FOR 18 YEARS.BECAUSE IT'S LOCALIZED AND THEY CAN FEEL AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS BUT THEY AREN'T SURE WHY...IT'S HAD THEM BAFFLED.I WAS ON A LOT OF HEAVY MED'S THAT DID NOT WORK. I TAKE LOW DOSES OF JUST THE TWO NOW.LIFE IS BETTER. I LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING AND CHATTING.
