THIS GUY (NEUROSURGEN), HAS A LOT OF TRUTH IN WHAT HE SAYS:)))

Protect Your Brain From Parkinson's and Other Neurological Diseases!

When both of Russell Blaylock's parents died from Parkinson's disease, this respected neurosurgeon set out to discover the hidden causes of this devastating neurological disorder, which now is reaching epidemic proportions.

He uncovered little-known environmental "triggers" that cause brain inflammation and cognitive decline — and the simple steps anyone can take to increase brain energy . . . improve brain blood flow . . . reduce free radical damage . . . and promote repair of a damaged brain.

Dear Friend,
A recent study found that the incidence of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Lou Gehrig's disease, has increased in far greater numbers than previously suspected.
Most of these diseases are age related, meaning that their incidence is much higher as we age, especially after age 50.

For example, the incidence of Alzheimer's disease goes from 15 percent at age 70 to almost 50 percent in people over 80. The same is true for Parkinson's disease.
Today, about 1 million people are suffering from this horrible disease, and 50,000 new cases are diagnosed each year.

What is even more frightening is that these devastating neurological disorders are occurring at much earlier ages than previously seen. Some victims are in their 20s and 30s.
Alzheimer's disease is the No. 1 neurodegenerative disease, but Parkinson's is a close second. What the medical profession cannot seem to get in its collective head is that, for every full-blown incidence, there are hundreds of cases that are less severe but that interfere with one's enjoyment of life.
We use such benign terms as "age-related cognitive decline" to describe conditions that are just short of full-blown Alzheimer's disease. And we say that old people who walk slowly, have balance problems, and develop minor tremors are just "getting on in years."
What we don't acknowledge is the total devastation that neurological diseases can cause in many families — a fact I lived through in my own life!

I've Suffered Personally From
Mainstream Medicine's Inability to Treat
Neurological Disorders Effectively

My name is Dr. Russell Blaylock.
I'm a board-certified neurosurgeon who has been a practicing physician for more than 30 years.
I've been facing the ravages of Parkinson's disease and other neurological disorders on a daily basis throughout my career, but Parkinson's also has touched me in my own life.
You see, both of my parents were afflicted by this horrible disease.
My father was struck first. During a period of 10 years, I watched helplessly as my father's condition went from bad to worse. I was very close to my dad, and to see him go from a robust, energetic man of great humor to a weak, emaciated shadow of his former self was devastating.
I tried everything I could think of, and all of the remedies I tried, of course, were traditional medical treatments. None seemed to help. I even subscribed to a neuropharmacology journal so I would have access to the latest drug treatments for Parkinson's disease.
Within a few years of my father's death, my mother began to show definite signs of the disease as well. I lived the nightmare all over again.
I tried to help my mother with newly-discovered information on the natural treatments of Parkinson's disease, but she was so depressed over the death of Dad that soon she just gave up. Within 10 years she also died of complications associated with her illness.

Until Recently, Mainstream Medicine
Has Been Clueless About the Causes
of These Neurological Disorders

Until recently, medical scientists had no idea what caused Parkinson's disease, but they entertained theories involving genetics and aging itself.
But slowly, scientists have discovered that, like so many diseases afflicting modern man, Parkinson's is an inflammatory disease.
Many experts have noted a link between cardiovascular disease (atherosclerosis) and a number of age-related neurological disorders.
And, as in cardiovascular disease, Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease are linked to other inflammatory conditions:

• Diabetes
• Autoimmune diseases
• Obesity
• Consumption of omega-6 fats
• Trauma
• Exposure to certain toxic metals
• Infections

We have discovered that regardless of the event or condition that triggers the disease, the damage is caused by intense activation of the brain's immune cells, called microglia, that destroy parts of the brain (such as the striatum).
One of the strongest links to Parkinson's disease is exposure to pesticides and herbicides, especially paraquat, pyridaben, fenazaquin, dieldrin, and rotenone.
This and other discoveries have led to some amazing new treatments for Parkinson's — and a new breakthrough approach to preventing it.
For example, one of the consistent findings in Parkinson's disease is that victims have very low levels of glutathione in their cells, especially in the areas of the brain most affected. Just how does glutathione affect your body?
Glutathione — which is a protein that becomes a powerful antioxidant enzyme — plays a major role in protecting all cells, especially brain cells. This miracle molecule is found in its highest concentrations in the mitochondria of the neuron, which is where 95% of free radicals are produced.
Some suspect that people with low glutathione levels are at the greatest risk of developing Parkinson's.

The Problem Is, Most Doctors
Don't Have Time to Keep Up With
the Latest Scientific Research!

DR. RUSSELL BLAYLOCK Doctor, Neurosurgeon, Author, Health Advocate Russell Blaylock, M.D., not only compiles and edits Newsmax.com's Blaylock Wellness Report, he's also a nationally recognized board-certified neurosurgeon, health practitioner, author, and lecturer. He attended the Louisiana State University School of Medicine in New Orleans and completed his internship and neurosurgical residency at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. For over a quarter of a century, he practiced in the demanding field of neurosurgery in addition to having a nutritional practice. He recently retired from his neurosurgical duties to devote his full attention to nutritional studies and research. Dr. Blaylock has authored three books on nutrition and wellness: Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills Health and Nutrition Secrets That Can Save Your Life Natural Strategies for Cancer Patients An in-demand guest for radio and TV programs, he lectures extensively to both lay audiences and other physicians on a variety of nutrition-related subjects. Dr. Blaylock is the 2004 recipient of the Integrity in Science Award granted by the Weston A. Price Foundation. He serves on the editorial staff of the Journal of the American Nutraceutical Association and is a member of the editorial board of the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons, official publication of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons. He previously was assistant clinical professor of neurosurgery at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson and is a visiting biology professor at the Belhaven College, also in Jackson.

As I said, I'm a M.D., a board-certified neurosurgeon and have been a practicing physician for more than 30 years.
I'm part and parcel of the medical establishment . . . and for that very reason, I know the strengths and the weaknesses of conventional medicine. I lived through the weaknesses when I saw how little mainstream medicine could do for my own parents!
Every year, our government and a number of private institutions spend billions of dollars on research, yet a great deal of this research goes unread.
Worse, the information gleaned is often never utilized in treating and preventing human disease.
Most doctors never read more than a few articles in popular medical journals, and they almost never read studies of basic science. This is why they think so-called alternative treatments do not work.
But the truth is, today's "alternative" treatment often becomes tomorrow's standard of treatment.
One example: For decades, so-called alternative and nutritionally-oriented physicians like myself have advocated the omega-3 (fish) oils as a proven preventative for cardiovascular disease, and as a vital component for neurological development in the young.
Yet for years many doctors dismissed such recommendations — and mainstream medical journals went out of their way to attack believers in fish oil supplements as misguided. (Now, of course, they all sing its praises as a preventative . . . yet it started out as an "alternative" treatment.)

Mainstream Medicine Often
IGNORES the Evidence!

We hear a lot about "evidence-based medicine," but just how much of traditional medical practice is evidence-based?
Studies have shown that as little as 30% of conventional medical practice is backed by science.
Most medical procedures, treatments and recommendations are based on nothing more than accepted custom . . . anecdotal evidence of what works . . . and recommendations from drug company reps.
The term "evidence-based medicine" was invented largely to discredit all alternative treatments, since it implies that everything outside traditional medicine is not "evidence-based."
In fact, most alternative treatments have a tremendous amount of scientific evidence for their mode of action. What they often lack is large epidemiological studies, since such studies are prohibitively expensive and the government will not fund well-conducted studies.
That is why I now write and edit The Blaylock Wellness Report. And in one of our most popular recent issues, "Parkinson's Disease — You Can Fight Back," you'll discover some amazing new "alternative" therapies that can help protect you or those you love from the ravages of Parkinson's disease and other disorders.
I'll tell you how you can get a FREE copy of this new special report in a moment.
But first I'd like to tell you why a little bit about me — and how my 30 years as a physician and neurosurgeon led me to embrace a nutritional approach to healing.

Now You Can Get the "Inside Story"
From an MD Who Has Seen It All!

You're probably wondering who I am — and how a neurosurgeon came to champion nutritional and other forms of alternative medicine.
The truth is, I simply believe in good medicine.
I believe in preventing disease if possible . . . and healing it whenever I can. And over the years, I've come to believe that one of the key reasons people get sick and suffer from disease is what they eat.
I've also seen the dark side of conventional medicine as practiced in the United States:

• Medical students and doctors being "indoctrinated" merely for financial gain . . .
• Giant pharmaceutical machines spewing out their billion-dollar propaganda for drugs of dubious benefit — or, even worse, for drugs they knew had dangerous side effects . . .
• Unnecessary surgeries being performed when more conservative, less dangerous treatments were available . . .
• Expensive, invasive diagnostic tests being administered to patients who didn't need them merely for "liability" reasons . . .
• Insurance companies telling doctors how to practice medicine . . .

Finally, I just couldn't sit by any longer and remain silent.
I had to find better, less expensive, more effective solutions to the major health issues plaguing the American people.
I wanted to help people like you, who are not getting the best advice to prevent and treat diseases . . . just because of corporate greed and a system that puts the convenience and profit of health care providers above the needs of the patient.
I am convinced that the average person wants and needs better, more accurate information about threats to their health than exists today — threats that are NOT covered by the mainstream, corporate-controlled media . . .

Natural Treatments Can Be MORE
Effective Against Neurological
Disorders Than Dangerous Drugs!

When it comes to neurological disorders such as Parkinson's, my parents' suffering spurred me to investigate ALL the conventional forms of treatment available.
To this day, traditional treatments include a host of drugs and surgeries.

• L-dopa — Mainstay treatment (most patients will get worse after two to five years, and it appears to speed deterioration)
• Carbidopa — A form of L-dopa that increases brain levels of the medication
• Drugs that inhibit MAO-B (an enzyme)
• Drugs that inhibit COMT (an enzyme)
• Drugs that mimic dopamine
• Drugs that block glutamate receptors
• Anticholinergic drugs (nerve impulse inhibitors)
• Surgical treatments
• Stereotaxic unilateral pallidotomy (destroying a small portion of the brain that Parkinson's has damaged)
• Stereotaxic ablation of subthalamic nucleus (burning or freezing a small portion of the brain damaged by Parkinson's)
• Deep-brain electrical stimulation
• Stem cell placement in substantia nigra

The problem is, these treatments are only marginally effective — and the side effects can be devastating.
Fully 70 percent of patients suffer from sleep disturbances. Many also suffer from dyskinesias: uncontrolled, writhing movements, constantly moving.
Other side effects include nausea and vomiting, low blood pressure, hallucinations, and disturbing incidences in which patients vacillate between "normal" and fully afflicted symptoms of the disease.

Fortunately, New Treatments
Now Show Much More Promise!

In my Blaylock Wellness Report, I tell you all about important breakthroughs and new research on health issues like Parkinson's — issues that the corporate-owned media ignore or deliberately suppress.

THIS WAS EMAILED TO ME AND AS I READ IT,  I UNDERSTOOD THAT IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO EAT THE RIGHT THINGS AND GET YOUR SUNSHINE EACH AND EVERYDAY.

I AM FIGHTING A NEUROLOGICAL DISEASE AND IT IS HARD,BUT HAVE FOUND IF I EAT THE RIGHT FOODS AND STAY AWAY FROM PROCESSED FOODS, I HAVE A LOT OF BETTER DAYS WITH MOVEMENT. 

SO, WE NEED TO ALL EAT RIGHT, THE FOOD OF NATURE THAT GOD GAVE US ALL..YOUR VEGETABLES AND FRUITS AND YES, RED MEAT HAS PROTEIN...SO, YOU HAVE TO GET SOME RED MEAT INTO YOUR DIET. JUST DON'T EAT THE FATTY FOOD AND FOODS HIGH IN MSG. AND FAT. TRY TO EAT OUT OF A GARDEN, IF POSSIBLE, THE FOOD YOU HAVE GROWN ON YOUR OWN, BUT IF NOT AT LEAST GET FRESH VEGETABLES AND FRUITS EVERYDAY..OKAY.

TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS US ALL:)))<3 Karen

CHRONIC PAIN AND WAYS TO TREAT IT

I FOUND THIS AND HAD TO POST IT. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH CHRONIC PAIN FOR 5 YEARS OR MORE. I WANT OTHERS TO FIND RELIEF , AS I AM TRYING TO FIND ANSWERS...MYSELF :))  

 

 

Treating chronic pain can be challenging. Often the reason for the pain is not clear. And it may take several types or combinations of treatments before you find relief. When treatment is started, some people may have increased pain because their chronic pain has caused them to be inactive and they have lost strength and flexibility. But over time treatment should reduce the pain and increase your ability to function. You may learn new ways of doing ordinary tasks to reduce pain. Often chronic pain cannot be cured, but it can be managed well enough to significantly improve the quality of your life.
Be sure to seek treatment if your pain lasts longer than 2 to 3 months. Early treatment may prevent the pain from getting worse.
Some chronic pain is caused by specific conditions that can be treated. For example, there are treatments for headaches, arthritis, neck pain, low back pain, or depression.

Initial treatment

The goals of treatment are to reduce chronic pain and increase your ability to function. This includes improving your sleep and coping skills and reducing stress so you can return to your regular activities. Initial treatment depends on what kind of pain you have and how severe it is, as well as whether your pain is related to an illness, injury, or an unknown cause. Often, the best approach is a combination of therapies.
You may be able to control your pain at home by:

• Making exercise (such as walking or swimming) a routine part of your life.
• Eating a balanced diet. This includes getting enough vitamins such as vitamin B and vitamin D. Talk to your doctor or a registered dietitian about a healthy diet for you. For more information on a balanced diet, see the topic Healthy Eating.
• Getting enough sleep.
• Using pain relievers—such as acetaminophen or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen (Advil, for example) or aspirin. Always take these medicines exactly as prescribed or according to the label. Do not take a nonprescription NSAID for longer than 10 days without talking to your doctor.
• Using complementary therapies, such as acupuncture or meditation.

A licensed mental health counselor, psychologist, or psychiatrist can help with your emotional well-being while you are dealing with chronic pain. It is common to respond to chronic pain with feelings of frustration, depression, anxiety, fear, and even anger. These feelings can make it tough to conquer chronic pain, especially if you use alcohol or drugs to manage your symptoms. Pain affects both your physical and emotional well-being. Untreated depression or anxiety can make your pain worse. A counselor may use treatments such as cognitive-behavioral therapy to help you cope with your pain.

Ongoing treatment

It is important to build a clear treatment plan for chronic pain with your doctor. Part of this plan includes identifying ways for you to manage your pain. Only you know the severity of your pain and how it affects your life. Be sure to ask your doctor if you are not clear about what steps you can take when pain occurs or gets worse.
Medicines or a combination of medicines and other therapies may be used to relieve pain, inflammation, depression, and sleeping problems that are linked to chronic pain. For more information on the medicines most often used to treat chronic pain, see Medications.
If you continue to experience chronic pain, you may be:

• Referred to one or more doctors who specialize in rehabilitation and pain management (such as an anesthesiologist, a neurologist, or a physiatrist).
• Offered electrical stimulation therapies (such as TENS), which seem to decrease the feeling of pain for some people.
• Given injection therapy (such as corticosteroids), which can sometimes reduce nerve pain or pain and inflammation.

For some people, complementary therapies can help reduce chronic pain. For more information on complementary therapies used to treat chronic pain, see Other Treatment.
The best approach is usually a combination of treatments. If one treatment has stopped working, another treatment or combination of treatments may help reduce your pain. Try to stay ahead of the pain: don't wait until your pain is severe to begin treatment.

Treatment if the condition gets worse

If your chronic pain is not relieved after you have tried numerous treatments, you may want to think about going to a pain management clinic. Treatment is provided by a team of doctors who work together to address all the factors that may cause your chronic pain.
Treatments that are commonly used for prolonged chronic pain include:

• Physical therapy, which may include using hot and cold therapy to relieve painful areas of the body, and exercises to maintain strength, flexibility, and mobility.
• Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), which uses a wire in a skin patch to apply brief pulses of electricity to nerve endings in the skin to relieve pain.
• Professional counseling, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy. Stress and depression may contribute to or occur as a result of chronic pain. It is important to be healthy emotionally as well as physically to recover from chronic pain.

You may also wish to consider surgical options for relieving chronic pain. For more information on the types of surgery used to treat chronic pain, see Surgery.

What To Think About

Your chronic pain may improve more if you have a combination of treatments at the same time.
It is important to find a doctor with whom you feel comfortable, and to keep in regular contact with this doctor. If your doctor is unable to provide effective treatment to reduce your pain, ask about a referral to a pain management clinic. There, a team of doctors can help you set realistic expectations and identify treatment choices.

MAY GOD BLESS US ALL AND HELP US TO FIND THE ANSWERS TO OUR CHRONIC PAIN,SO WE CAN EXPERIENCE A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE:)))

WAKE UP AND THINK @ WHAT IS GOING ON AROUND YOU AND WHERE DO YOU WANT YOUR SOUL TO END UP, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!

I SHOULD HAVE JUST TITLED THIS ONE "EPIC FAIL"THAT WOULD HAVE  DONE THE TRICK, BUT WE DO HAVE HOPE... ALWAYS WITH OUR LORD. DON'T LET THE ADVERSARY WIN...STAND UP, FOR WHAT IS RIGHT, NEVER COMPROMISE. OR JUSTIFY.

 

Karen Elmore

I AGREE. WE ALL NEED TO FOCUS AND DEPEND ON THE LORD. I KNOW, THAT I HAVE A HOME WAITING FOR ME, "A MANSION ON THE HILLTOP IN THAT BRIGHT LAND THAT WILL NEVER GROW OLD".I JUST PRAY THAT I SHINE MY LIGHT BRIGHT ENOUGH THAT SOMEONE WILL SEE IT. I AM NOT PERFECT BY NO MEANS, BUT I DO HAVE FAITH AND DEPEND ON THE LORD. I WISH MORE COULD F...EEL THE "COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE" THAT I HAVE CHOSEN TO ACCEPT...THE LORD. I AM SO GREATFUL THAT I DID, FOR MY LIFE HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED AND I AM HAPPIER NOW,THAN I HAVE EVER BEEN IN MY LIFE. I AM DISABLED,BUT DON'T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT OR ASK FOR PITY. PRAYER, IS ALL I SEEK AND THE LORD HAS COMFORTED ME AND GAVE ME SUCH HUMBLENESS TO FILL MY HEART. THERE IS NO OTHER FEELING THAT COULD COMPARE WITH THE SERENITY AND LOVE THAT FILLS MY HEART AND I THANK YOU LORD, 4 THE SACRIFICE YOU MADE FOR ME, WHEN YOU DIED ON THAT BRUTAL CROSS AND I THANK YOU THAT I AM ONE OF YOURS..ALWAYS AND FOREVER♥ :)))♥ Ka

 

 

YOU KNOW, A SOUL IS PRESCIOUS AND WE SHOULD VALUE WHERE IT IS GOING WHEN WE PASSED. WE NEVER KNOW, WHEN WE ARE TO LEAVE THIS WORLD. THE BEST AND RIGHT THING WOULD BE TO "BE READY" NOW. NOT WHEN YOU THINK, IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO GET RIGHT. THAT WOULD BE NOW. WHY TAKE THE CHANCE OF GOING TO THE WRONG PLACE WHEN YOU PASS...THERE ARE NO SECOND CHANCES THEN. I JUST AM CONCERNED FOR THOSE WHO KNOW THEY NEED TO COME CLEAN AND FOCUS ON THE LORD.

I AM NO TRYING TO PREACH HERE...OKAY, JUST  STATING COLD HARD FACTS.HOW MANY OF YOU ARE LOOKING AND SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS TO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE? HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE A VOID THAT DOESN'T EVER SEEM TO BE FILLED?

I JUST FEEL THAT ARE LORD IS AT THE DOOR...READY TO TAKE US UP IN THE RAPTURE. IT IS A VERY SERIOUS AND REAL THING THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN...YOU KNOW THAT. WHY DO WE ALL PROCRASTINATE? WHY DO WE ALL PUT OFF THE ENEVITABLE.

I KNOW WORDS AREN'T ENOUGH. YOU HAVE TO SEE IT TO BELIEVE IT. TRUST ME, YOU WILL SEE IT AND I WOULD RATHER SEE HIM COMING ON THAT CLOUD TO RECEIVE US IN JOY, INSTEAD OF TRYING TO HIDE AND PRAYING FOR A MOUNTAIN TO COVER ME.IT WILL HAPPEN AND I AM PRAYING FOR ANYONE TO RECEIVE HIM INTO THEIR HEART. IT IS SO IMPORTANT BECAUSE OF THE TIMES NOW. THEY POINT TO HIM COMING BACK SOON. ALL OF THE SIGNS OF HIS RETURN HAVE BEEN FURFILLED AND I DON'T KNOW @ YOU, BUT I WANT TO BE IN HEAVEN WITH MY LORD. I KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO BE IN THAT PLACE OF TORMENT,WHERE THERE IS GNASHING OF TEETH AND THE BIBLE STATES THAT IT IS NEVERENDING. MAKES YOU THINK DOESN'T IT?

IT IS NOT HARD. AS A MATTER OF FACT, I KNOW IT IS THE BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD. HARMONY FEELS YOUR HEART AND IT IS A TRANFORMATION. TOTAL TRANSFORMATION OF WHO YOU ARE AND HOW YOU DEAL WITH EVEYTHING AROUND YOU.

I USED TO FEEL ASHAMED WHEN I WAS ON MY BACK DECK AND WOULD LOOK UP AND THINK LORD, JUST HELP ME, BUT THE THING THAT MADE ME FEEL ASHAMED WAS THINKING OF SOMEONE WATCHING ME. NOW, I CAN GO OUTSIDE AND IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME AT ALL TO LOOK UP AND PRAY. IF SOMEONE PASSES BY AND SEES ME...I AM NOT BOTHERED..ONE BIT AND WHEN YOU HAVE THAT RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, IT IS SO COMPLETELY JOYFUL AND IT FILLS EVERY PART OF YOU. AS A MATTER OF FACT, THE TRANSFORMATION IS SUCH A GOOD FEELING THAT YOU DON'T EVER WANT IT TO EVER LEAVE YOU. I JUST WISH EVERYONE COULD FEEL IT:))

 

BELOW IS A CHART OF HOW IT SHOULD REALLY  BE. I MEAN, THINK @ IT. DO YOU REALLY UNDERSTAND THE ONE WE HAVE NOW? WOULDN'T THIS ONE BE MUCH BETTER THAN THE ONE WE  HAVE NOW. IT MAKES PERFECTLY GOOD SENSE THIS WAY, BECAUSE THE WAY THAT I LOOK AT IT, A LOT OF PEOPLE, ARE JUST IN THE NAIVE CATAGORY AND MOST PEOPLE ARE IN THE MIS-GUIDED CATAGORY...AND PLEASE, DEAR GOD...LET US, NOT EVER FALL INTO THE INSANE CATAGORY...I CAN SAY,THEN, THAT OBAMA OR WHOEVER IS TRYING TO TAKE THE ISREALY LAND FROM THEM IS JUST PLANNO..."CROOKED".

THINK @ IT..FOR JUST A MINUTE. IF WE ALL CONCUR THAT WE SHOULD FOLLOW WHATEVER OBAMA SAYS THEN, WE WILL ALL WIND UP JUMPING OFF THAT BRIDGE. DO YOU REALLY THINK WE SHOULD LISTEN TO HIM AND TAKE THE LAND FROM THE "JEWS"...GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE. THEY DESERVE A RIGHT TO KEEP THEIR LAND. THEY JUST, NOT TOO LONG AGO MADE STATEHOOD. WHY CAN'T THE PRESIDENT AND HIS MENIONS JUST LEAVE THEM ALONE. I KNOW, HE IS TRYING TO GET THE SAUDI'S OFF OUR BACK AND IS MAKING IT LOOK LIKE WE ARE GOING TO BE OKAY THEN...HMMM!!..BUT REALLY, DO YOU THINK THAT GIVING THEM THEIR LAND IS GOING TO MAKE IT A-OKAY!! NOT...FOR THEN, THEY WON'T HAVE ANY PROTECTION FROM THEIR OPPOSERS. THEY WILL FALL PREY TO THEIR ADVERSARIES BECAUSE THEY WON'T HAVE ANY PROTECTION THEN. BASICALLY, THEY WILL BE AT A DISADVANTAGE. THEY WON'T BE BARRIER THERE AND WITH THE ADVANTAGE OF THE SAUDI'S THEN WILL BE THAT THEY ARE OVER THEIR SUBJECTS AND IT IS EASIER SHOOTING AND BOMBING DOWN ON SOMETHING THAT HAVING TO FIRE UP...YOU GET IT? I AM JUST FIGHTING FOR PEOPLE TO OPEN THEIR EYES AND SEE WHAT IS COMING...THAT IS ALL. GOD BLESS US ALL:))))<3 Karen Elmore

 

NO ONE IS PERFECT, BUT WE ALL NEED TO STRIVE TO GET OUR LIVES RIGHT WITH THE LORD. THE MAIN THING HERE IS THAT WE ARE TRYING. SO, LOOK DEEP INTO YOURSELF AND THINK...IF, THE LORD CAME TONIGHT...WOULD YOU BE READY? WOULD YOU BE HAPPY TO SEE HIM OR ASHAMED OF NOT BEING CLOSER TO GOD...REPENTING,CONFESSING,BEING BABTIZED, LIVE FOR HIM AND SPREAD HIS MESSAGE. IT JUST SOUNDS DIFFICULT, BUT TRUST ME, IT IS SO EASY TO LOVE GOD AND REAP HIS REWARDS. THINK @ IT FOR ME...OKAY? I AM JUST A MOTHER, NOT A PREACHER,BUT I LOVE OTHERS AND ONLY AM THINKING OF THEIR SOULS AND BEING RIGHT WITH GOD...B4 HE DOES COME BACK AND FIND YOU MAYBE DOING SOMETHING YOU WOULDN'T BE PROUD OF...HOW WOULD YOU FEEL? DON'T FEEL EMBARESSED, ACCEPT GOD INTO YOUR HEART AND LIVE FOR HIM...READ HIS WORD AND HE WILL TELL YOU JUST HOW EASY IT IS TO BE A CHRISTIAN..GOD BLESS US ALL:)))<3 Karen

 

LIFE, CAN BE SO FULL OF PAIN,BUT WE HAVE TO KEEP ON FIGHTING, TO GET IT BACK TO THE WAY IT ONCE WAS.."LORD WILLING"

This is a compilation of posts. I have to document it someway and have found this to work:))

Pain, at the base of skull and on my left temple. NOW, I am having CHEST COMPRESSION..not fun. Could it be symptoms of Myeomalacia? Signs point to yes and it is a scary scary feeling, when u can't breath or your heart is racing while your resting.

 

 

 

Have a VENOUS ANOMALLY, IN THE LEFT CEREBULLAR HEMISPHERE, that always hurts IN MY HEAD with SHARP PAINS and my LEFT TEMPLE, always HAS SHOOTING PAIN THAT RUNS INTO MY HEAD.  I AM SO WORRIED THAT THIS IS SOMETHING, I AM JUST GOING TO HAVE TO FIGHT TO GET WELL. THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG HERE AND I PRAY THAT IT ISN'T DEADLY!!!
skeetelmore65

I am writing you because I have so many symptoms and never know what is coming the next day. This, will be challenge,but,I am looking 4 help,so here it goes.I will make it short and brief as I can.
I am having swelling at the base of my neck off and on,with chest compression,hypertensive feeling,BP goes back and forth with Diastolic pretty high when resting,pains strike in head mostly on temple area(can hit both), but at the BASE of my NECK where the Venous Anomally is located. I have been diagnosed with VA and was told not to worry, but it is hard to do, when the pain is so INTENSE, at times that a person could not just forget @ it. I don't know if this is related to the C5-C6 spinal diskectomy or the nerve blocks (that I was HIT by) BUT your C5 is in the middle of where ALL the imporrtant veins and arteries run through.  I was a given the same year as the surgery. I truly believe it is BAD and need advice. I will add a photo of one of the MRI shots that I have on file.
It all started when my neck was bothering me back in '03 and I was working 60+ hrs a week. I couldn't find a place to rest my head and night eventually making me have to quit my job. A chiro diagnosis was,that I had no curve in my neck,I had a tumor in my right shoulder,and that my shoulders were all messed (his words).I went in to see NS that was recommended to me and they done surgery on my C5-C6 and ever since that surgery I have gone downhill.
RIght now, I am having pain in my right shoulder(been told it was bone on bone),but it switches shoulders with cracking and popping and has developed indentations(atrophy)of the muscle and the pain is miserable. Back then, I only had the muscle pain in my right right arm muscle and my NS even said it was my C5.

 

DR.TRAYLOR-RIP..(chiropractor of Helena,Ar.,that has had 800hrs. of Neuropathy),HE  TOLD ME,OUT OF HIS OWN MOUTH THAT I HAD A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT I NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED RIGHT AWAY OR I WOULD BE CONFINED TO A WHEELCHAIR.

WELL, THAT HAS BEEN 3 YRS.AGO AND THE DOCTOR(NS,that did my surgery), WON'T DO ANYTHING @ IT AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND..WHY?

I HAVE BEEN SUFFERING FOR 5 YRS. AND HE, WON'T FIX IT OR TAKE THESE PLATES OUT of MY NECK, THAT HAVE SUPPOSEDLY FUSED. THEY TOLD ME IF IT HAS FUSED THAT IT IS FIXATED AND SUPPOSE TO BE HEALED.

I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THE C5 IS WHERE MOST OF YOUR IMPORTANT VEINS OR ARTERIES RUN THROUGH AND THE NERVES.

DR.TRAYLOR SEEMED TO ME, THOROUGHLY UPSET THAT THE NEUROSURGEN, THAT DID MY SURGERY, HAD PLACED A SCREW IN AN OPENING AND SET IT RIGHT ON TOP OF A NERVE AND I BELIEVE HIM, BECAUSE HE TOLD ME, THAT I WOULD LOSE THE USE OF MY ARMS AND LEGS...AND I HAVE. I AM EVEN HAVING COMPLETE WEAKNESS AND NUMBNESS ON THE WHOLE LEFT SIDE OF MY BODY AND I CAN'T.

IT IS SO BAD THAT I CAN'T EVEN USE IT WHEN I AM GOING THROUGH THOSE EPISODES, AS I CALL THEM, BUT THE EPISODES ARE GETTING CLOSER AND MORE PAINFUL,NUMB AND I AM SO WEAK. THEY ARE LIKE YOU CAN'T MOVE AND HAVE TO BREATH THROUGH YOUR NOSE AND OUT THROUGH MOUTH, BECAUSE IT IS SO HARD TO CATCH A FULL BREATH AND THE CHEST COMPRESSION IS SO SCARY THAT YOU FEEL YOU ARE HAVING A STROKE AND MY HEART RACES AND HYPERTENSIVE.

I JUST WANT TO DOCUMENT THAT I HAVE BEEN DONE WRONG...I KNOW IT, I FEEL IT BECAUSE ALL OF THIS STARTED 2-3 MONTHS AFTER MY SURGERY AND I HAVE BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH PAIN AND AGONY THAT THERE ARE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE.

 

THIS IS A LETTER THAT I WROTE TO A CERTAIN WEBSITE(can't share link and I don't like that..working on it:))) I THINK THAT THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT,BUT EVERYTHING THAT I AM GOING THROUGH SOUNDS THAT WAY. I love each and every one of you...Take care and always..God Bless:)))<3 Karen

 

  
     I have to state this because this is what my husband thinks has happened to me and he even agrees that it could be both(my neck surgery and that I was hit in my nerve fibers or something in my back during an ESI ).I had to get nerve blocks because the pain was beginning to get too unbearable.The first two did help me for a short time and I had some movement,but the third one..the doctor hit something, while performing the precedure. I jumped on the table like a lightening bolt had struck me.I raised my head from the hole to ask the doctor..what happened?He aswered with "Friction"in a studdering voice.He told me to sit up real fast then got in my face and asked me,"Are your ears ringing, do you have heavy breathing"? I told him that my hands and the soles of my feet were numb and they,still are today,besides all of the other things that I am dealing with in my body.I even started feeling stabbing pain,ice-pick headaches,sore spots all over and my head has sore spots that I CAN'T EVEN TOUCH MY HAIR. I have got to get some answers somewhere and i know they could be here.
It has moved to every part of my body,so after seeing the chiro( NO ADJUSTMENTS) they don't want to touch me.WHY? What could be so wrong here?I went in to see a NS that was highly recommended by an anthesis,in the family.I was told by a NS that I had a ruptured petrusion and I needed a C5-C6 spinal diskectomy '06, in which I had, but they went in on my left side of my neck(due to being a professional vocalist), instead of right,to bypass some nerves( I went to see that NS, 9 out of 11 months,in the same year and he is sending me to a NL).
What this ALL has come to is pain in every part of my body, but my head seems to always be involved. My head feels like something is in it or something is causing it to feel swelled, NUMB. I have whole numbness in the left side of my body. This makes the third time,this has happened and the doctors(NL and NS) can 't find anything. It is a horrible feeling for that to happen. MY face, in my left cheek(face) felt like I had been give a shot of NOVACANE,by a dentist.
I have really wondered and thought,that I have been having TIA'S or was having a stroke,heart attack,since my BP has been going crazy here lately.MY resting number is high,and always over 85.My systolic is usually perfectly normal,but the LOW number of DIASTOLIC is sporatic.It is really high most times like 104 and when it does that my HR is like 108. IT is scary, but wondered if that might be a symptom of me titrating down from my Fentanyl Patch,but the only thing is that I should have stabolized. It has been over a month since, I was on 75mcg and now am on 50mcg.
This is WHY I AM WRITING YOU.I have been having someVERY awkward things happen to me,that IT is/has been utter "H", sometimes.I JUST WANT A LIFE...MY LIFE BACK(as much of it as I can). 
The symptoms that most stand out are: burning in the extremities and sometimes it feels more like fire is going from one end of a vein to another,pinching feelings also on the extremities and in my chest 2. My muscles always ACHE and sometimes,the RLS feels more like WBS(Whole BODY Syndrome:)).The veins feel like they burn,go from point A to point B like it runs through the vein.It feels as if my body is attacking itself,my memory is gone. I am weak and shaky as I type this,IT can get really bad at times and I am so shaky and had to stop and start typing many times to complete it.
I had a lump come up on the inside of my wrist(left),that I thought was a bloodclot,but my PCP, told me it was a ganglion cyst, but it seem to have grown up onto the top of my hand,after I got home.I haven't seen him since to tell him @ it.I am just praying for it to go away.Right now, it is aching so bad on the top of the hand and through it,that I had to rub biofreeze all over it just to get some relief.
The weakness is really creepy because it is like my brain is not sending the correct signal sometimes because I can't get the letters correctly spelled or I get everything BACKWARDS,IF I don't watch 4 it.I hurt everywhere. My shoulders have this digging pain that goes deep into it. So many symptoms there is no way to list them all, but trying. I never ever know what is coming my way next.I just PRAY.
I had an episode last week that made me feel like I was having a heart attack or stroke.The whole left side of my body was NUMB. MY face that felt like novacane had been shot into it was completely numb,that felt like it was moving over to the right. My right hand was numb.
    What in the world am I going to do now?I have been to so many NL,that I can see that I am getting no where,but who do I see?A cardiologist,a Pathologist or an Oncologist,I don't know.Please help. I hope I dont' wind up having an aneurysm because of a Venous Anomally that has turned into a Caverness Malformation or THIS POSSIBLE MYEOMALCIA(even my NS said it was a possibility due to me having ALL of the symptoms,even me having all of the CHEST COMPRESSION...ASCENDING SYNDROME?? Could it possibly be a Cavernoma, since I do have calcification in my sinuses? I do know something is seriously wrong here and no one can find. Thank you for any info on this matter and I am sorry 4 the length of it:))) <3

 

JUST A GLIMPSE INTO HOW I FEEL @ THIS: 

IT IS SO GREAT,WHEN WE HAVE THOSE PAINLESS DAYS. I AM GREATFUL 4 THE ONES THAT I HAVE HAD.THESE PAST FEW DAY, BUT IT IS HARD WHEN YOU WAKE UP AND IT BACK...I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY, IT SO INTERMITTENT, AT TIMES?  WHY CAN'T I GET ANSWERS,FOR I KNOW,WHAT IS GOING ON IS BAD AND I'VE TRIED, TO GET SOMEONE(docs, that is) TO LISTEN TO ME. IT IS SO HARD TO DEAL WITH, AS IT IS AND TO TRY AND MAKE SOMEONE,TO SEE THE URGENCY HERE..IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE:((( I HAVE BEGGED, FOR SOMEONE TO LISTEN TO ME. I AM THANKFUL, THAT I DO HAVE SOME PEOPLE, THAT STAND UP FOR ME AND I AM GREATFUL THAT YOU SUPPORT ME, WITH YOUR WONDERFUL PRAYERS. I AM JUST SO TIRED OF SUFFERING..BUT I KNOW,THAT THERE IS A REASON AND I JUST HAVE TO KEEP ON FIGHTING, TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT. I DO HAVE FAITH..YES,LORD KNOWS THAT IS ONE THING THAT I DO AT I HAVE..THANK GOD. ONE thing that I DO KNOW, IS THAT THIS IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE, IF I AM TO BE AROUND for a WHILE..THAT IS. PLEASE, LORD...TAKE THIS MISERY FROM ME THAT FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO TAKE ME AWAY FROM HERE,I TRULY BELIEVE. DON'T LET IT BE TOO LATE 4 ME, TO GET WELL.

HE IS SO GROWN UP THESE DAYS THAT I HAVE TO SHOW HIM OFF JUST A LITTLE:)) I MUST SAY, EVEN THOUGH MY SPEAKING VOICE SOUNDS TERRIBLY HORSE AND SLURRED I JUST HAD TO POST IT ANYWAY BECAUSE I WANTED TO POST IT FOR THE WORLD TO SEE. I HAVE IT ON YOUTUBE AS WELL..hehe:))) THE MEDICINES THAT HAVE BEEN PRESCRIBED HAS CAUSED THIS, BUT IN MY SITUATION, IT IS UNDERSTANDABLE. MY VOICE, DOESN'T SOUND LIKE IT IS MINE...WELL, IT DOESN'T, BUT AFTER SURGERY EVERYTHING WILL BE BACK TO NORMAL.."LORD WILLING".

I DO HAVE A REALLY GOOD VIDEO I WANT TO SHARE AND WORKING ON THAT. IT IS OF MY COUSINS IN OREGON. MY MOM'S BROTHER HAS TWO GIRLS THAT CAN ROCK AND LET ME TELL YOU...THEY CAN SING ANYTHING..HARMONY B-E-A-YOU-TIFUL:)))

CAN'T MOVE LEFT ARM STINGING, NUMB and GEE-WHIZ..ain't this fun!!

 

WARNING:MIGHT NOT BE PERFECT,BUT HONEST..WITH A FEW FLAWS of writing that is..hehe..just kidding..gesh..so touchy, I AM SURE AND MISTAKES,BUT EVEN A CUSS WORD(4give me Lord)..THAT, I DON'T LIKE TO USE, BUT SOMETIMES, LIFE SEEMS SO FRUSTRATING AND WE ALL...YES, WE ALL NEED UNDERSTANDING AND LOVE:))
FASCINATING READ..to me, that is:O)..U MIGHT EVEN LEARN a thing or two..YOU..YOURSELF, MIGHT NEED ONE DAY.. :P

I WOULD MUCH RATHER BE LIVING HERE AND ENJOYING THE SUNSHINE..AND THAT POOL.. I WOULD LOVE TO RUN AND LAUGH AGAIN WITHOUT WORRYING MY HEART IS GOING TO ACT UP,  BEING OUT DOORS...OH...FISHING,I WOULD BE DOING THAT EVERYDAY,IF I COULD..BUT I AM NOT..AM I?

I AM SERIOUS, THAT I CAN HARDLY LAUGH WITHOUT SOME REPERCUSION OF SOME KIND...THAT IS UTTERLY RIDICULAS...HOW, IS ANYONE GET HELP 4 WHAT IS GOING ON WITH ME? I NEED TO SEE A PATHOLOGIST, BUT CAN'T FIND ONE THAT IS UNDER 200MILES AWAY FROM HOME. I NEED TO SEE A GOOOOOD NEUROLOGIST..I AM SURE EVERYONE GOT THAT FGIST. I AM JUST TIRED OF IT ALL. LIFE, IS THIS BED AND MY OWN SON...sorry,MY OWN SON, TOLD ME THAT THIS IS MY LIFE..THAT IS SAD. I DON'T WANT HIM TO GROW UP WITH ME THIS WAY. I WANT HIM TO SEE THE FUN SIDE OF ME..THE ONE, THAT I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE..YEAH, I AM DEPRESSED, BUT NOT SUICIDAL..NEVER!!! GOD, I DON'T THINK HAS A CHANCE TO FORGIVE YOU FOR THAT...U GET MY DRIFT..NO, I AM A CHRISTIAN AND PROUD TO BE ONE. GOD...HE KNOWS ME.

You know, I woud LOVE 2 be WELL..but that "AIN'T happening"..as they say..NOT RIGHT THIS MOMENT ANYWAY. I am sure that "Semmes and Murphey" have helped a lot of people, but they won't help me..well, ONE doctor won't(Dr.Fern..we'll call him) and I truly believe that there is a MISTAKE in there somewhere, just saying. REALLY believe IT could even be THE DEVELOPEMENTAL VENOUS ANOMALY that I have in the LEFT CEREBULLAR HEMISPHERE.

I have always been a worker, a doer MY WHOLE LIFE..NOT a taker..and that hasn't changed. I am shaky right now,due to my whole left side of my body being NUMB and I am SOO WEAK. IT is a scary feeling and I don't understand..just why, I am having ALL of the symptoms and IF I am taking up ur space..I am truly sorry,but this is like my friend..I am stuck in bed w/all of these symptoms..and IT'S HARD,so, I write my feelings down and IT helps me focus on my life, to document just what is going on and when I need it..IT is there.
You know, it is bad enough to try and be a happy-go-lucky person that I USED TO BE..No more..can I EVEN LAUGH without my heart pumping hard and my BODY getting NUMB..imagine the OTHER things I CANNOT DO???...and when a person misjudges u, IT is really hard to be patient,humble and loving..BUT, I AM.. I feel JUDGED or PROFILED or something...SOMETIMES..DAMN..REALLY??..GET REAL..I have had enough to take when it comes to people and THEIR ATTITUDES and WISH THAT I COULD just get ON w/my Life,but UNFORTUNATELY..I HAVE TO TAKE THE MEDS prescribed and deal with IT AND THEIR UNRELENTING SIDE EFFECTS. I WISH THERE WERE ANOTHER WAY..I DON'T HAVE THAT OPTION RIGHT NOW!!!!! OHH, I JUST WISH PEOPLE WOULD and COULD BE MORE CONSIDERATE. What has happened to some people's hearts:((( I guess, The Lord will be back soon and their hearts are being hardened..Sad..SO SAD, THAT THEY HAVEN'T FOUND HIM YET!!. Sometimes, I feel so alone in my situation and It's then, when I understand, why people FIGHT SO HARD TO LIVE.
oooo.I Have been having an ALL day LONG EPISODE, in which scares me.Having pian in my left side of neck where I have a DVA...NOTHING TO MESS WITH..TRYING..It CAN take u away from here..IF ONLY THEY(SM), WOULD DO LIKE THEY SAID AND PUT ME IN TO SEE THIS DR.ADAM ARTHER..I WANT TO SEE SOMEONE THAT IS GOING TO FIGHT 4 ME and HELP ME..INSTEAD OF LETTING ME SIT IN THEIR LITTLE ROOM AND WAIT 3 HOURS IN A WHEELCHAIR...YEAH, U CAN DEFINITELY SAY I AM HIGHLY UPSET..SO MUCH 4 UNDERSTANDING..IT is ALMOST GONE..I reckon.I DO KNOW ONE IMPORTANT FACT..I AM NOT A HYPO and DON'T like being referred as one.. I am very sensitive @ that ..because I am SURE that I have dificulties and disablities and MOST people HERE or THERE just don't understand and I understand, for when, I do have a good day(1 out of 10..IF I am lucky)...BUT NOW that WEAKNESS has become as ISSUE..I AM MORE SURE of it. ..AND FEEL LIKE PEOPLE THINK I AM making it up to get ATTENTION..NOT I get plenty of attention to be begging 4 it. I hate 4 people to wait on me. It makes me feel so dependant..NEVER HAVE I EVER BEEN DEPENDANT..UNTIL NOW..

I just want to say, that this is my opinion and that is all. I DO PRAY THAT ANYONE THAT IS GOING TO S.M., WILL TAKE HEAD OF WHAT IS GOING ON IN THEIR BODY AND TO FIGHT..OH, AND DO THE BREATHING EXERCISES..IT HELPS SOMETIMES(Thank u..Patrick Jane..4 that bit of information..You, were better than most real docs that I have SEEN...hehe..SO TRUE..BUT SAD FACT, I HATE TO SAY. I AM THANKFUL TO MY PCP(primary care physician). I WILL BE ALRIGHT.."LORD WILLING":)))))...I KNOW.. I AM ,BUT,  I AM also SAD,HURT,FRUSTRATED AND ALL OF THE ABOVE BECAUSE WE CAN'T EVEN FIND A PATHOLOGIS IN MEMPHIS,TN...OH,COME ON (OH..COME ON!!! LET ME SAY IT LIKE DEAN DOES OFF OF SUPERNATURAL..OR AS ME AND MY SON CALL IT SUPNAT). CAN U TELL I WATCH A LOT OF TV..FUN..YEAH, ALMOST 3 STRAIGHT YEARS IN BED..NOT COUNTING THE YEARS OF ANGUISH B4 THAT:((..hows a person going to even FIND THE problem, if we DON'T have the right DOCs..hmmm!?????!!!!! GOD BLESS US ALL..IS ALL THAT I CAN SAY IN THIS MATTER... :(( ♥ Karen

I GOT SOME MORE PICS TO SHARE WITH U:))) THE NEW..NEW ONES..THAT ARE RECENT,WHEN SHANE VISITED, I CAN'T LOAD BECAUSE I CAN'T GET UP AND LOOK 4 ME  CORD THAT APPARENTLY HAS BEEN MISPLACED. ( It had to be when the storm hit and I had to get to mom/dads house because I live in a mobile home) I CAN'T FIND IT..I HAVE LOOKED, BUT JUST SOOO MUCH LOOKING THAT I CAN DO..HAVE TO STOP 4 MY HEART..<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3...YES, I AM SCARED, BUT PRAY THAT THE LORD WILL HELP ME GET MY LIFE BACK TO WHERE IT WAS SOON..HOPEFUL:))))

 BRYAN..WOOOO. HE WOULD KILL ME(not literally), IF HE KNEW THAT I POSTED THIS, BUT IF I POSTED JUSTIN BEIBER BESIDE HIM..HE REALLY WOULD BE..STEAMING MAD..HEHEHE..SHOULD I???? HMMMM? I MIGHT GET AWAY WIITH IT..LOL:)))

HMM? WHAT DO U THINK?HEHEHE..I DID IT..OH, I AM GONNA BE IN SOME TROUBLE WHEN HE GETS HOME.:)))

JUST IN CASE..I AM NOT HERE TOMORROW

FOR THOS OF YOU,WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND..here is the scoop..THIS IS WHAT I JUST SENT TO SOMEONE, WHO IS ON THE NET THAT IS TRYING and WILLING TO HELP PEOPLE WITH INFORMATION, "BUT".... HE SAYS, ON HIS SITE THAT HE IS SWAMPED..I understand.I may not EVER get well.:((((
Hello,
I am so thankful that you are here, to help lead me in the right direction. I have been doing some strange things and I don’t understand. I have been basically healthy all my life, until I had surgery and after that I was in worse pain that before the surgery. I had an ACD & F spinal diskectomy of C5-C6 in Feb.’06. My right arm started burning in the bicep muscle and decided to get ESI’s (Epidural Steroid Injections) and had a series of three. Well, the first two went fine and were done in my Cervical, but the last one was in my Thoracic. Even the nurse that was there, asked, “Why is he going through her T’s,when all of her problems are in her C’s”? All I know is that I felt like a bolt of lightening struck me and I jumped on the table. I raised my head from the hole and asked, “What happened”? and the doctor replied..”Friction”. He immediately told me then to set up and asked me, if I had any heavy breathing or were my ears ringing. He got right in my face and asked me that. I told him that my hands/feet, were totally numb. They kept me and monitored me that day, but didn’t the other two ESI’s. I know, that something is seriously wrong and can’t get anyone to help me. I am now experiencing so many symptoms there is no way that I could list them all. I have begun feeling overwhelmed and dis-oriented and just soo confused like I couldn’t complete any of my tasks that were right in front of me. My mind feels like it is losing it and that is such a scary feeling.
I do, however want to state that this is a serious problem that is wrong with me...I know it. My HR(heart rate) has been so high here lately. I have never had any problems with my heart. I must say that it feels like it is going to beat out of my chest sometimes. The highest that I have had is 144/100 with a HR of 111 and I knew it was high, but when I saw it, it sunk in. I have come across mixed reviews on the net to what is the norm. I always thought it was 120/70 w/a HR of 80. IF that is the case this is very strange and maybe you can give me some insight on it. Okay, I know this might not seem too high and I am glad of that, but it will do this crazy thing like have a low BP and a high HR...Does that make sense and have you seen it before? My BP is usually 96/67 HR 106 and all of these have been resting. I just don’t understand how a BP can be low and the HR be so high, if I am just resting.
Today,I noticed that my left forearm is swollen and at first, I noticed that I had a knot that had come up on the INSIDE, of my left wrist @ two weeks ago. My PCP, thinks it is a ganglion cyst, but I noticed the day after seeing the doc, it was moving more upon my hand over my thumb. I have also noticed that I have these little knots all over my head and they are not sores. They are under the skin and feel like blood clots. I have a bunch of little ones that are located on my temporal area, BUT there is one that came up or I noticed it last night and it was a pretty big one. IT seems to have a vein that is attached to it and that might just be how it felt..I don’t know.
What do you recommend, since I live in a small town and the closest Pathologist is @ 200 miles away...that is sad. I have been seeing NL and NS, but getting no where. I am at my wits end and am very afraid after starting having dis-oriented feelings this morning,but I pray that is because I haven’t had but 3 hrs. sleep last night. I do know, I am sore sometimes to where my hair can’t even be touched.
This is my theory of it all. When I had the nerve block and he hit my...something..maybe nerve fibers or something worse. Could it be possible that I was basically electrocuted when the doc hit my spine with the needle while doing the ESI? I watched a program the other night where a woman had been struck by lightening and had EVERY ONE of my symptoms..to the T. THAT is scary. IS it possible? What I am dealing with is bad..I know. I can feel it all the way down to my bones, I ache most times and it is everyday. I am so tired and only 45. If you want more info and some MRI’s, check out my site..IT needs someone w/more comp.literacy, but it reads..)))) <3 K    http://skeet65.blogspot.com/       IT is called LIFE...AND THE THINGS IT BRINGS , that ought to tell you something @ what I have there.

You know, I am still blessed....I know it. I may not be well, but I have The Lord and that is ALL I need to get through ALL of this. I do know that my family LOVES me and they are lost right now. THEY don't know what to do and I understand, for I am right there with them. I LOVE YOU GUYS for being there.
I have a wonderful family and ALL I want, is to get WELL..so, I can be there 4 them, when they NEED ME:))))

                             This is an older picture, but these are my precious boys...ALL of them.

Our lives, have seemed, to have been touched by so much devastation..and I WOULD NEVER want to add to that devastation..I am so tired and just want some of my life back that I had, so I can be there 4 the ones I love, when they need me..:))))
ALL I CAN SAY IS..
IF YOU TRULY BELIEVE THAT SOMETHING... IS REALLY WRONG, YOU HAVE TO FIGHT TO MAKE IT RIGHT..BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T, IT WON'T EVER BE THE SAME.

Thank you so much 4 everything MOM and DAD..I LOVE YOU
ALSO, my HUBBY...my BABIES..I LOVE YOU...<3
and to MY BOYS...I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU, NO MATTER WHAT, BUT BE GOOD..k?
MOM..DAUGHTER and WIFE..Karen Elmore <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

SPELLING IT OUT,SO EVERYONE CAN GET A GLIMPSE of my LIFE

 

     I am writing you because I have so many symptoms and never know what is coming the next day. This, will be challenge, I think it could help,so here it goes.I will make it short and brief as I can.
     It all started when my neck was bothering me back in '03 and I was working 60+ hrs a week. I couldn't find a place to rest my head and night eventually making me have to quit my job. I then went to a Chiro, from where I was living at the time,MS. His diagnosis was, that I had no curve in my neck,I had a tumor in my right shoulder, and that my shoulders were all messed (his words). RIght now, I am having pain in my right shoulder,but it switches shoulders,and has developed indentations of some sort of the muscle and the pain is miserable. Back then, I only had the muscle pain in my right right arm muscle and my NS even said it was my C5. I didn't think @ it then, but he was the one who had just done surgery on me, only a couple of months earlier on my C5-C6. How could it be my C5, if he supposedly fixed it? Right?
     I have to state this because this is what my husband thinks has happened to me and he even agrees that it could be both(my neck surgery and that I was hit in my nerve fibers or something in my back during an ESI ).I had to get nerve blocks because the pain was beginning to get, just too unbearable.The first two did help me for a short time and I had some movement,but the third one..the doctor hit something, while performing the precedure. I jumped on the table like a lightening bolt had struck me.I raised my head from the hole to ask the doctor..what happened?He aswered with "Friction"in a studdering voice.He told me to sit up real fast then got in my face and asked me,"Are your ears ringing, do you have heavy breathing"? I told him that my hands and the soles of my feet were numb and still are today, besides all of the other things that I am dealing with, in my body.I even started feeling stabbing pain,ice-pick headaches,sore spots all over and my head has sore spots that I can't even touch my hair.I have got to get some answers somewhere and i know they are somewhere. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     
     It has moved to every part of my body,so after seeing the Chiro, I went in to see a NS that was highly recommended by an anthesis,in the family. I was told by a NS that I had a ruptured petrusion and I needed a C5-C6 spinal diskectomy '06, in which I had, but they went in on my left side of my neck, instead of right,to bypass some nerves( went to see that NS 9 out of 11 months, in the same year..nothing).
     What this ALL has come to is pain in every part of my body, but my head seems to always be involved. My head feels like something is in it or something is causing it to feel swelled, NUMB. I have whole numbness in the left side of my body. This makes the third time,this has happened and the doctors(NL and NS) can 't find anything. It is a horrible feeling for that to happen. MY face, in my left cheek(face) felt like I had been give a shot of NOVACANE,by a dentist.I really thought, I was having a stroke or heart attack,since my BP has been going crazy here lately.MY resting number is high,and always over 85.My systolic is usually perfectly normal,but the LOW number of diastolic is sporatic.Sometimes,it is really high,104 and when it does that my HR is like 108. IT is scary, but that might be a symptom of me titrating down from my Fentanyl Patch. I was on 75mcg and it has been 14 days(did have some W/D's)and they weren't fun at all,but hoping that it is over 4 now and not changing yet to 25mcg.,until I get levelized from that.
     This is WHY I AM WRITING YOU.I have been having some awkward things happening to me,that IT is utter H sometimes.The symptoms that most stand out are: burning in the extremities,pinching feelings also on the extremities and in my chest 2. My muscles always ACHE and sometimes the RLS is more like WBS(Whole BODY Syndrome).The veins feel like they burn,go from point A to point B like it runs through the vein.It feels as if my body is attacking itself. I am weak and shaky as I type this and had to stop and start many times.
     I had a lump come up on the inside of my wrist(left),that I thought was a bloodclot,but my PCP, told me it was a ganglion cyst, but it seem to have grown up onto the top of my hand, after I got home.I haven't seen him since to tell him @ it.I am just praying for it to go away.Right now, it is aching so bad on the top of the hand and through it,that I had to rub biofreeze all over it just to get some relief.
     The weakness is really creepy because it is like my brain is not sending the correct signal sometimes because I can't get the letters correctly spelled.I hurt everywhere. My shoulders have this digging pain that goes deep into it. So many symptoms there is no way to list. I never ever know what is coming my way next.I just PRAY. 

 

The VA *(VENOUS ANGIOMA) in the back of my head is VERY visible. They say that those things are called something with the word "MEDUSA" in it. JUST GREAT, I have a snake-like creature in my HEAD.  If you LOOK very carefully, you can see the head of Medusa, right at the back of my head.   0_o   SEE the squiggle at the back of my head right above that big hump.YOU WANT TO SAY CREEPY ^_o

This has so far...been a very LONG journey...TOOO NO-wheresville. All I have got, is a bunch of long words and medication, that the docs seems to want to fill you up with to make you think a little while @ that. I guess they want to numb you to where you can't move or something.Maybe, I am wrong,but I know the misery that I go through IS SOMETHING. Maybe there can be some people like that, BUT NOT ME. I like to be the same today as I was yesterday.I like to KNOW what I am doing and not feel so bad trying NOT to FEEL the PAIN. MY SON, is in the living room and what I wouldn't give to go enjoy that BASKETBALL GAME with LEWESKI in IT. IT doesn't seem fair, but LIFE isn't fair, but IT is our SPIRIT that keeps us going and that SPIRIT is from GOD. I feel blessed just to be alive. I may NOT BE WELL, BUT I AM BLESSED just to know Him. REALLY KNOW HIM. I PRAY everyday that this will be OVER. Maybe soon, when it is time for me..I will either be well or be in Heaven.

 I just feel like the DOCS have let me down. I know, in my heart...THAT SOMETHING is WRONG and WHY can't THEY FIND IT. So, I say..whenever or whatever IT TAKES...I will FIGHT 4 IT. I AM STILL HERE LORD and ...I, THANK YOU and PLEASE 4GIVE ME, if I said anything wrong...<3 :)))))

    

 

 

 I had an episode last week that made me feel like I was having a heart attack.The whole left side of my body was NUMB. MY face that felt like novacane had been shot into it was completely numb,that felt like it was moving over to the right. My right hand was numb.
What in the world am I going to do now?I have been to so many NL,that I can see that I am getting no where,but who do I see?A cardiologist,an Oncologist,I don't know.Please help. I hope I dont' wind up having an aneurysm because of a Venous Angioma that has turned into a Caverness Malformation or something.I do know something is seriously wrong here and that no one can or seems to be able to find it. Thank you so much, for any information that you could give me on this matter.

Christian Love 2 ALL:))) <3 Karen

DEAR LORD, SEND ME TO SOMEONE WHO CAN FIX ME,I AM BROKEN.

I KNOW, LORD... that YOU WILL. YOU WILL SEND ME TO SOMEONE WHO CARES AND KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE DOING AND LET IT BE YOUR WILL.
