just another irritating thing with drs!

[Guest guest]

Hello to all,as I sit and read your posts and see where many of u as

i have grown frustrated with drs reactions to our problems I have to

add a little something or maybe just vent.Which ever here goes-I had

my tc surgery in jan 2004 much complicated and was told I would be

fine as many of the rest of you I am sure.Later on to find that I

also have syringomyelia and arachnoitis but here is my beef-I am

always told that my not being able to use/lift my arms has nothing to

do with my lower lumbar right?well then how come before they opened

my spine and went into my spinal cord I could move my foot and lift

my arms??and now I can't raise eyebrows or lip/mouth on rt side?but

have been told it sounds like strokes but the brain mri's look

fine...each episode of the paralysed usually on rt side is getting

worse and i give up with the docs!I do know this-before I had surg I

could use my foot and I could lift my arms and they won't even

consider the thought that the lower lumbar has nothing to do with

your upper extremities!Go figure!!Anyway maybe some of u will find

your answeres I now just place my faith in the man upstairs and try

to keep my pain under control with my local dr who does understand

thank God the pain anyway!and now hope u all have a goodnite and

forgive me if I sound synical....Blessings to you all,

on oh maybe one day there will be drs that will listen to us

and forget what the textbooks say!and just listen maybe just a lil to

us we can't all be crazy can we???
