Guest guest Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 I am herniated 24mm and have not be decomressed yet. I am waiting because I am scared. Meanwhile, it seems my systems are going bezerk. My digestive system is out of whack. I have very poor gastric empting. According to the ct scan, I had no emptying in the whole hour and half I was there. Dr. gives me Reglan to make my stomach empty. I am always constipated(wonder why if my food don't leave my stomach!)so Dr. gives me Miralax. I have GERD and my esophogus is very narrow due to the scarring. Dr. does two Dilations to widen my esophogus. I have shortness of breath where I gasp for air for no reason out of the blue. My heart races. My vision is getting worse. I keep losing muscle tone. Luckily, my headaches are few and far between but my neck hurts and is stiff all the time. My ears constantly ring. I read alot of posts where peoples symptoms are the same or seemed to get what I have AFTER surgery. What good will the surgery do me? Just wondering what else CAN happen? I am coping with what I have now just alot of lifestyle changes. I don't have a syrinx so does that mean I don't have to worry about being paralyzied?
