HEAD ACHES THAT SPIKE, COME AND GO. IS IT TMJ? TEMPORAL ARTERITIS? THAT ABNORMAL VEIN THAT WAS FOUND IN MY MRI? I BELIEVE THAT IT ALL IS CAUSED BY THE LYME DISEASE AND MUST FIND A WAY TO GET IT OUT!!!!

BEEN EXPERIENCING THESE WEIRD TYPE OF HEAD ACHES..OR HEAD PAINS, AS I CALL IT. IT IS NOT LIKE A REGULAR HEADACHE. IT WILL SPIKE LIKE IT IS CONNECTED TO MY HEART OR SOMETHING. I HAVE ALSO BEEN HAVING PAIN IN MY VEINS AND WAS DIAGNOSED HAVING AN ABNORMAL VEIN IN MY HEAD. ALTHOUGH, THEY DIDN'T TELL ME WHERE THE VEIN IS. :o
I DO HAVE TMJ AND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH IT YEARS AGO, BUT MY JAW IS STAYING SORE HEAR LATELY. ON THE RIGHT SIDE, LOWER JAW BONE, IT STAYS SORE AND I CAN BARELY TOUCH IT. I DO NEED SOME TEETH WORK DONE, BUT HAD TO PUT IT ON THE BACK BURNER, DUE TO HAVING ALL OF MY OTHER HEALTH ISSUES. 
I HAVE LYME DISEASE, ADDISON'S DISEASE AND FIBROMYALGIA. PLUS A TON OF NEURLOGICAL DEFICITS WITH THE NECK AND BACK ISSUES. ALSO DEALING WITH A C2 SCERLOTIC LESION, T3-T4 COMPRESSED FRACTURE, T8-T9 PROTRUSION, ALONG WITH DDD, SPONDYLOSIS AND SPINAL STENOSIS. 
I DO TAKE NEURONTIN THAT SEEMS TO HELP WITH SOME OF THE NERVE PAIN. DON'T TAKE MUCH PAIN MEDICATION, SINCE IT DOESN'T SEEM TO HELP ME MUCH WITH THE HEAD PAIN. I HAVE STARTED TAKING MORE ASPIRIN, WHICH DOES SEEM TO HELP ME A BIT WITH THE HEAD PAIN.  ALSO I'M AFRAID TO TAKE MUCH ASPIRIN, SINCE I DO HAVE THAT ABNORMAL VEIN THAT WAS FOUND IN MY HEAD. I ALSO HAVE AN AVM IN MY LEFT CEREBULLAR HEMISPHERE AND DEALING WITH A CHIARI MALFORMATION, FROM A CAR WRECK BACK IN '95. THE CM IS OVER THE DEFICITS, BEING 6.5mm AND I HURT IN MY NECK ALL THE TIME. I HAVE HAD AN ULTRASOUND OF MY NECK AND THE DOC TOLD ME THAT ALL THAT HE SEES ARE TIGHT, TENSED MUSCLES SHOWING UP. 
I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS JERK IN MY RIGHT FINGER AND SHOULDER. MY MUSCLES ARE TIGHT ALL THE TIME, ESPECIALLY IN MY NECK AND JAW AREA AND IT COULD BE THE REASON FOR THE HEADACHES OR HEAD PAIN, AS I CALL IT. I HAVE NO IDEA FOR SURE WHAT IS CAUSING THEM AND HOPEFULLY, WHEN I GET TO THE PAIN MANAGEMENT CLINIC, THEY WILL GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT. 
JUST WANTED TO SEND THIS OUT AND SEE, IF THERE IS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCING THESE WEIRD HEADACHES, THAT SPIKE AND THEN JUST COME AND GO. 
A LITTLE MORE HISTORY ABOUT ME. WELL, I AM A SMOKER OF CIGARETTES AND HAVE BEEN WANTING TO QUIT FOR A LONG TIME AND HAVE TRIED, BUT DUE TO ALL THE STRESS THAT I EXPERIENCE...IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO DO. 
I BELIEVE THAT IF, I COULD GET THE LYME AND IT'S CO-INFECTIONS OUT OF MY BODY, IT WOULD BE EASIER TO DO. IT TAKES ALL OF ME AND WEARS ME OUT. I FEEL, AS IF MY BODY HAS BEEN BEATEN AND DON'T HAVE ANY ENERGY. I LITERALLY FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN UNPLUGGED.  
I EXPERIENCE CONSTANT MUSCLE SPASMS IN MY LEGS AND HAVE A BED, WITH A LEG MESSAGE FEATURE THAT CONTINUOUSLY RUNS. I THINK THAT I WOULD GO CRAZY, IF I DIDN'T HAVE THAT FEATURE ON MY BED. THEY FEEL LIKE THEY PULSATE OR THROB, WHERE I FEEL THAT THE BED FEATURE CONFUSES MY MIND AND I CAN DEAL WITH THEM MORE. 
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT ANYONE KNOWS HOW STRONG, I REALLY AM. I AM NOT A BIT FRAGILE, ALTHOUGH I MIGHT LOOK LIKE I AM. I HAVE A SMALL BODY FRAME AND LOOK LIKE I COULD BREAK, BUT REALLY I AM REALLY STRONG. MY HANDS CAN REALLY BE STRONGER THAN, OTHERS CAN IMAGINE THEY ARE. I EVEN DON'T KNOW MY OWN STRENGTH SOMETIMES. 

ME AND GARY ON THE WAY BACK FROM ONE OF MY DOCTOR VISITS. YOU CAN SEE THAT I LIKE TO FEEL THE WIND IN MY HAIR. LOL :) I TRY TO KEEP SMILING, NO MATTER WHAT, BUT IT SURE DOES GET DIFFICULT TO DO SOME TIMES AND DON'T FEEL LIKE LIVING AT TIMES, BUT KEEP PUSHING FORWARD..SOME HOW. IF, IT WEREN'T FOR GOD..I WOULDN'T HAVE MADE IT THIS FAR. I DON'T LIKE BEING SICK AND ONLY WANT TO BE HEALTHY AGAIN, BUT IT ALMOST SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE TO FEEL GREAT ALL THE TIME. I SURE DO TRY THOUGH AND KNOW, THAT IT IF WEREN'T FOR GOD...I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SMILE AT ALL. 

I HAVE BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH, THAT I JUST KEEP GOING SOME HOW AND JUST DEAL WITH WHATEVER COMES MY WAY.  I HAVE SO MANY THINGS WRONG WITH ME, THAT IT SEEMS UNBELIEVABLE, EVEN TO ME. I DON'T SEE HOW A PERSON COULD HAVE ALL THAT WRONG WITH THEM, BUT I HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH THEM AND CAN'T ARGUE WITH THE DOCTORS. 
I DO A LOT OF RESEARCH ON WHAT I'VE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH AND HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH IN THE PROCESS. THE ONE THING, THAT I BELIEVE THAT HAS TRULY HELPED ME, IS THAT I STARTED USING ESSENTIAL OILS. I STARTED BACK BEFORE I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE ADDISON'S OR THE LYME DISEASE AND TRULY BELIEVE THAT IT IS WAS HAS KEPT ME GOING ALL THIS TIME. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT I WOULD STILL BE HERE, IF I HADN'T OF DISCOVERED THEM. I ADD ABOUT 15 DIFFERENT OILS TO MY BATH WATER, EACH TIME THAT I TAKE A BATH AND FEEL SO ALIVE, WHEN I GET OUT OF THE TUB. THE PAIN DOES COME BACK, BUT IT DOES GIVE ME A COUPLE OF HOURS OF RELIEF, BEFORE IT DOES. 
GOD PUT THE OILS HERE FOR US TO USE AND DO BELIEVE THAT HE CREATED THEM, FOR THAT PURPOSE. ALL THE OILS, EITHER CAME FROM A FLOWER OR TREE. AS A MATTER OF FACT, IF YOU NOTICE THAT MOST OF THE MEDICATIONS THAT WE HAVE TODAY, CAME FROM SOMETHING NATURAL THAT GOD MADE. I DO THANK GOD FOR THEM. 

WELL, TO SUM EVERYTHING UP. I AM SO TIRED OF BEING SICK AND ONLY WANT TO GET BACK TO WELLNESS AND IT SEEMS THAT MOST OF MY PROBLEMS HAVE COME FROM THAT SINGLE BITE OF A TICK. I HAVE RESEARCHED, WHERE IT HAS BEEN THE CAUSE OF THE ADDISON'S DISEASE. IT COULD BE POSSIBLE THAT THE LYME CAUSE ALL OF IT!!! THE SPIRCHETTES FROM LYME, CAN GO ANYWHERE THAT THEY WANT. THEY CAN EVEN DRILL INTO A PERSON'S BONES. :o
THE LYME IS WHAT HAS DRAGGED ME DOWN AND IF, ANY WAY POSSIBLE I'VE GOT TO GET TREATMENT FOR IT AND IT'S CO-INFECTIONS. IF, I EVER WANT TO GET TOTALLY WELL, IT IS WHAT NEEDS TO GO. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT INSURANCE DOESN'T COVER TREATMENT FOR THE LYME. :P 
IT DOESN'T SEEM FAIR AND THERE MUST BE A WAY, TO GET IT TREATED. THE PLACES THAT DO TREATMENT COSTS A FORTUNE AND SOMETHING THAT I JUST DON'T HAVE. ONE PLACE THAT DOES TREATMENT COST $7000 A WEEK. WHO COULD AFFORD THAT? I KNOW THAT I CAN'T. WE LIVE FROM WEEK TO WEEK HERE AND ARE BARELY SURVIVING...SO, I DEFINITELY WON'T BE ABLE TO GO THERE. ANOTHER PLACE IS LOCATED IN RENO, NEVADA, CALLED SIERRA INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE. THEIR COST IS A LOT BETTER, BUT STILL HIGH AS A CAT'S BACK!! IT COSTS $3000 A WEEK AND WOULD NEED 4-6 WEEKS OF TREATMENT. I PRAY THAT I CAN RAISE IT, BUT WOULD HAVE TO SELL OUR HOME, IF I DO...UNLESS, THE MONEY COULD BE RAISED SOME WAY. 
I LIVE IN ARKANSAS AND IN A MOBILE HOME. YES, I AM NOT RICH AND TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO RAISE THE MONEY SOME HOW. 
I DID WORK IN NASHVILLE IN OPRYLAND AND THERE ARE A FEW FRIENDS OF MINE, WHO ARE WILLING TO HELP ME RAISE THE MONEY, BUT THE PROBLEM IS TRYING TO GET IT TOGETHER. THERE HAS GOT TO BE A WAY. THE WAY THAT I LOOK AT IT..IF, THERE IS A WILL...THERE IS A WAY. 
ONE FRIEND, KEN MELLONS, IS WILLING TO HELP BY GIVING ME A BENEFIT SHOW AND SAYS THAT THE ONLY THINGS IS, HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO GET ONE PUT TOGETHER. HE IS SO KIND, TO HELP ME AND CAN'T THANK HIM ENOUGH FOR HIS WILLINGNESS TO DO THIS. GOD BLESS HIM!!
I WILL FIND A WAY SOME HOW TO GET THIS GOING AND DO HAVE A BUNCH OF PEOPLE IN MIND, WHO LIVE CLOSE TO ME. THEY ARE FRIENDS THAT COULD HELP  AND KNOW THAT THEY WOULD BRING MORE TO IT. THEY ARE PEOPLE THAT I'VE SANG WITH  FOR YEARS, LIKE C.W. GATLIN AND TOMMIE GAIL KILLEBREW. THEY ARE WONDERFUL PEOPLE AND C.W HAS EVEN BEEN INDUCTED, TO THE ROCKIBILLY HALL OF FAME AND IS A WONDERFUL MUSICIAN. HIS SON, TOMMY GATLIN IS ALSO A GREAT DRUMMER THAT I NEED TO TALK TO. TOMMIE GAIL IS A WONDERFUL SINGER AND KNOW, THAT SHE WOULD BE A GOOD PART OF IT. SHE HAS A WONDERFUL VOICE AND KNOW, THAT SHE WOULD BE WILLING TO HELP. THERE ARE A LOT PEOPLE, WHO COULD HELP. MY DAD PLAYS THE BASE AND WOULD LOVE BEING A PART OF IT. 

BEING ILL DOESN'T HELP ME, FOR MY BRAIN HAS TROUBLE THINKING OR REMEMBERING THINGS. SO TO THINK FOR ME..IS HARD, BUT ON A ROLE TODAY...LOL :) I'M GLAD THAT I'M HAVING A PRETTY GOOD DAY. I DON'T HAVE MANY OF THEM, BUT ONLY WANT MORE OF THEM. I DON'T HAVE ANY MEMORY AND LYME IS BAD ABOUT TAKING IT FROM A PERSON. I AM TRYING TO FOCUS ON GETTING WELL, THAT IS THE ONLY WAY THAT I WILL EVER BE ME AGAIN AND HAVE TO FIGHT FOR WELLNESS.

ME, HERE ON A DECENT DAY. I STAY IN MY PJ'S AND MOSTLY AM CONFINED TO MY BED, DUE TO MY BACK ISSUES. I FEEL THAT MOST OF MY BACK ISSUES ARE CAUSED BY THE LYME AS WELL. IF IT GETS INTO YOUR SPINE, IT CAN CAUSE MANY PROBLEMS AND MUST FIGHT, TO GET IT OUT. 


AFTER TREATMENT, ALL OF MY BODY FUNCTIONS SHOULD COME BACK AND THINGS GO BACK TO NORMAL. PRAYING THAT I WILL BE ABLE...SOME HOW, TO DO THE THINGS THAT I NEED TO DO, TO GET BACK TO ME. 
GETTING THIS FUNDRAISER BENEFIT GOING, IS MY ONLY CHANCE AT GETTING ME BACK. I HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO GET THAT GOING AND IF, ANYONE IS WILLING TO PARTICIPATE, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT SOO MUCH!! :D
BECKY FREEMAN JACKSON, ANOTHER FRIEND FROM NASHVILLE, IS DONATING MONEY FROM SALES OF HER RODAN & FIELDS, TO MY CAUSE AND CAN'T THANK HER ENOUGH..FOR HELPING ME. ANY INCOME WILL HELP ME GET MY HEALTH BACK. LOVE YA BECKS. :)  
LORD, I PRAY THAT I CAN FIND A WAY TO GET RID OF THIS LYME. IF I CAN JUST DO THAT, I BELIEVE THAT I COULD HANDLE THE REST THAT IS WRONG WITH ME OR THAT MOST OF MY PROBLEMS WOULD DISSIPATE BECAUSE MOST OF MY PROBLEM IS THE LYME DISEASE. 
LORD, I JUST PRAY THAT YOU GIVE ME STRENGTH, TO GET WHAT I NEED TO DO...DONE. 
THANK YOU FOR THE MANY BLESSINGS OF YOUR LOVE. 

Jesus LOVE you. He is coming back to receive us!!

We must not follow those, who change God's Word. Follow His Word, as IT is written and DO NOT change a thing.  
There are those, who do NOT teach His Word correctly and who are doing wrong. They are changing the words, for their benefit...and will be taken from The Lambs Book of Life.  
It is WRONG, any way that you look at it...IF you change the bible. We have to live by the Word...as it is written. He even states, at the end of the bible, for us NOT to add or take away from this book. 

Revelation 22:18-19King James Version (KJV)
18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Nothing May Be Added or taken away, from the bible. It is plain and simple.
Make sure that you are being taught correctly. Read it for yourself and you will know The Truth.  
We must keep God in our heart always...and do His will. Be Joyful..no matter what. If we read His word, we can't go wrong. Take it and apply it, in your life. IT only strengthens us and gives our body, the food that it needs to be strong..to carry one. Keep the faith. 
And..we must read it daily, for our Food. 

We should always ask for wisdom..for, He will give it to us and to pray unceasingly. 

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18English Standard Version (ESV)
16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

He will carry us forward, to His Kingdom..one day. He shall return to receive us, in the clouds...in the day of Rapture. It will come and we shall ALL know that God is our Creator and over all creation. The day of His return...we shall be on our knees. 
He only loves us and wants us all, to come to The Glory of God. He is waiting patiently, for us all to know Him.
To know Him...is to love Him. 
Always keep in touch with God and pray--talk with Him daily. He is a forgiving God.

Revelation 1:7
King James Bible
Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

Daniel 9:9 King James Bible
To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him; 

Psalm 37:7-9 ESV 
Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices! Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil. For the evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land.

He gives us strength to carry on, each and every day. He also, gives us HOPE for a new day. Something that we ALL are looking forward to. 
God Bless all and keep the faith!! ^_^

ABOUT TO GO OUT OF MY MIND FROM PAIN. WHAT DO I DO?

I MIGHT BE SMILING HERE, BUT HAVE BEEN SO GOOD ABOUT NOT SHOWING MY PAIN. I CAN TOLERATE A LOT OF PAIN, BUT NOW...IT IS GETTING UNBEARABLE AND NEED TO GET TO THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM AND GET IT FIXED. WHAT AM I GOING TO DO...THERE IS SO MUCH THAT IS WRONG WITH ME?

Such a difficult time for me!!! Dealing with JUST so much pain!! I have Lyme disease, systemic Candida, Addison's disease...and all of my back is affected and have a petrusion on my L4-L5. Sure feel like death. Just being honest and speaking the truth. I don't know, what is happening to me, but I'm so tired of dealing with all of it. IT is wearing me down and pray for The Lord, to get me well. 
The systemic candida  is the most likely cause of the Addison's that I'm dealing with. We are also dealing with a mold problem in our home and can't afford to get that fixed. Just don't have the income. That, in itself will keep me sick and I will never get well. 
Soooo lost, in a sea of PAIN..that can really bring a person to their knees and has me. I've always been such a positive person, but don't know what to do...anymore. Just so tired that I am plum give out. :/ 
On top of all of that, I'm dealing with all 5 layers of my back affected. THIS is EVER so hard to deal with and IT keeps me stuck in one spot in bed, where I can't move or the pain will increase. I know that I need surgery or some kind of treatment, that can reverse what is going on inside me. Been fighting this for years now...and it has taken it's toll on me. It is time, to get well. 
All that I want...is to be well, so that I can sing again, draw again, be a human being again.
I'm waiting on a call from the pain management facility...that my NL is trying to get me in to see and pray that they can get me in soon. I need to be diagnosed and treated, but it seems like it's taking forever for me to get in. It is so hard, for someone that feels like I do, to wait so long. :o
Taking such strong medication that's been prescribed, by my NL...that I really hate, but don't have a choice in the matter. The pain is that bad, but it's not covering all of the pain either, only covering 50 % of the pain. 
I truly believe that I'm dealing with some kind of infection or something...on my spine or CNS. It has to be bad...for, I feel like I'm dying I'm in so much pain. I know that I have to work on getting well, but don't see how I can even focus on it...from all that I'm dealing with...IT seems like tooo much on me!!!  :(
Asking for prayers...that The Lord will help me get back on my feet and have some kind of normal life again. 

Thank you ever so much and God Bless you, Karen

LIFE CHANGED

LIFE CHANGED..
People can judge you all day long...
but they haven't a clue, until they step in your shoes.
Before life changed...
things couldn't be more perfect.
I remember the sunshine and the gentle breezes..
The wonderful laughter that filled my soul..
and the smile on my face that never grew old.
Not having a care in the world...
but that was when, I was a young girl.
Life sure did change..
where did it all go?
Now, comes the rain...
and growing old.
Oh...I remember like it was yesterday
Yeah, but that was years ago.
How I long, for how the sunshine feels...
or the gentle breeze on my face. 
Nothing seems real anymore.
Only know of the pain that plagues me..
and how, it took it's place.
Of being in seclusion... 
lost in my own allusion
And..being away from the ones, I love...

is that my conclusion?

What things can mess with your hormones and what can naturally help them get back in balance?

Hormonal imbalances commonly occur before and around menopause. 
Hormone replacement therapy can cause an increase risk in Breast Cancer, Blood Clots in the Lung, Heart Attack & even Dementia. 
So many women are seeking natural remedies. Whole food sources of Soy-like Soybeans & Tofu, may decrease hot flashes. Not advised to take Soy supplements. A complete safety study has not been completed. 
Calcium & Vitamin D supplementation can help preserve bone mass. 


TIP # 1:
LIMIT EXPOSURE TO ANTI-BACTERIAL PRODUCTS.
They contain a harmful chemical called Triclosan. It is alright to use them under emergency circumstances and do not have any regular Soap around, but limit using it to only when, you have to.

TIP # 2:
USE SUNBLOCK INSTEAD OF SUNSCREEN.
Sunscreens used chemicals like Oxybenzone. They actually take a little time, to fully block the Ultraviolet Rays, where Sunblocks contains minerals block U-V Rays immediately.

TIP # 3:
USE GLASS INSTEAD OF PLASTIC FOOD & BEVERAGE CONTAINERS.
Plastic containers can contain chemicals that can act like the sex steroid Estrogen.

TIP # 4:
GET A FULL NIGHT'S SLEEP
Decreases a man's Testosterone.
The less sleep that you get also increases other problem areas like strokes or heart attacks. Always get more than 6 and less than 9. Anywhere between 7-8 are best.

TIP # 5:
EAT YOUR BROCCOLI
Cruciferous Vegetables like Broccoli contain ISOTHIOCYANATES.
ITC'S have been shown to decrease the expression of Estrogen responsive genes.
Eat your cruciferous veggies to lift the effect of Estrogen in the body.


Hopefully, this helps someone with their hormones to be more balanced. I sure know that mine are out of whack!!
If, I can do anything to help someone else fight this battle, I will. Live a healthier life, by eating the right natural foods and using the right natural products.

Why are my legs vibrating and pulsating? IT feels like I have an electrical current running through my body!! :O

WHAT IS CAUSING THE VIBRATING AND PULSATING ELECTRICAL CURRENT IN MY BODY?? MY LEGS WON'T STOP and NOW, HAVING THEM IN MY CHEST!! FEELS LIKE A CELL-PHONE IS LAYING THERE ON VIBRATE! 

Hello all, I am at my wits end with what I've been going through and need to see, if anyone else has been having these symptoms...and if, they could possibly be from being hit by a nerve block, Lyme or surgery?? 

Trying to figure out, which Doc I need to pay a visit to first. Not waste my time. 
The best way to explain it was that the Doc who did the NB's could have been the one, who caused ALL of this because of the leg involvement after the blocks. 

Being hit by a NERVE BLOCK is called a "Wet Tap". Literally...well, I donno about literally...but REALLY equated to it feeling like I was hit by a bolt of lightening. I jumped, when he struck my nerve...while doing the block. When I jumped on the table, I raised my head and asked him what had happened. He got quit and the only words he uttered were, "FRICTION." Still believe that has a big impact on what is going on with my legs because they NEVER stop pulsating, or vibrating. That can drive a person crazy because it is like RLS x 100. :o 

In my legs, dealing with spasms, cramps, burning and feels like my whole left calf is on fire. Mostly, they feel like they are vibrating or pulsating and sort of a throb. The symptoms are driving me crazy and feel electrical in some way. My legs literally feel like they have some sort of an electrical current going throughout them and up my body and down..back and forth. 

I am already worn out from not sleeping, just dealing with Lyme disease, but it doesn't explain my legs doing these weird things. The only thing that comes to mind is that, when I was hit by a nerve block back in '06, a few months after having the neck surgery on my C5-C6(ACD & F spinal Diskectomy). The surgery was done, but the pain still persisted. That caused me to go get nerve blocks, to deal with the pain. The pain just would never stop and was endless, but was dealing with it the best I could. The only bad symptom was that my arms would cramp and hurt, but after the nerve block...it moved into my legs. 

That nerve block, I believe did something to my nerve that is connected to my legs. 
Lyme in itself, is indicative for causing memory loss & insomnia, but just don't think that is what is causing this. I have been experiencing a fine tremor too that can't be explained either. 

It all started when my Chiro Doc friend sent a letter to the NS that did my surgery, to let him know that there was a screw on top of a nerve and could STILL be the problem. I just wished that I knew, if it is still a problem going on in my neck because my neck has these tight, taught knots that come up and are heck. 

He told me that I had a nerve trapped under a screw in my neck. I had an ACD & F spinal diskectomy back in '06 and my arm would burn then. He told me that if, I didn't get it off of that nerve that I would lose the use of my limbs. :o

But, can't EVEN get the NS to listen, that did my surgery. I took him a letter that my doc, who is a friend wrote, but the NS just handed it back to me...like it didn't mean anything. >:o WHY?? Couldn't he just LOOK at it? He didn't even examine me, he just sent me home without ANY answers to my questions. But, you know MOST NS...they SEEM to THINK, they everything there is to know..without investigating. Sorry, but everyone that I have run across since...to check it out, won't even listen to me. I don't understand. 

I do sleep, but only 4 hours at a time and then I wake up. Most nights, I only will sleep a couple of hours and wake up, for no reason. Have to take strong sleep medication, just to get that amount of sleep or might not ever sleep at all. WILL wake up every hour. What's so strange is that when I wake up...it is not pain that wakes me. I just wake up and don't feel anything different, just awake. It isn't that I have to go to the bathroom or anything. 
My memory.....short term is HORRIBLE and that is an understatement! The house could be on fire and I would forget in a sec or two. :o My head hurts a lot and not only headaches, but head pain. The pain is mostly on my temple area, but it has pain all over and feels awful. 

If, only I could figure out what is causing the problem, but don't trust JUST any Neurosurgeon to touch my back or neck. I've tried to find a good NS or NL and saw one NL for a while, but he didn't have any answers for me...only wanted to give me medication and told me to get plenty of rest. Yeah....I'll do that..not. Don't think that my body is not going to let me do that..it seems. :/ 

I do have a theory to what is causing the leg problem, but wanted to get it out there...to see if there are anyone else out there dealing with the same issue. So many things are wrong with me that I just don't have a clue, to where it is coming from. I do feel that one doc could be the one responsible for it.
