Guest guest Posted March 7, 1999 Report Share Posted March 7, 1999 I have been posting a little here and there. You all met me through my mother in law who posted originally. I thought I would introduce myself a little more. I am a 24 year old mother of a precious 8 month old. I was dx with carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands with the nerve conduction test in 1995. I was also dx with endometriosis in March 1997. I had my daughter July 1998. After a few months I began to have all over muscle and joint pain. This is actually what took me to the doctor. When she started asking questions I realized that I have been having some balance problems for about 2 years at least. When walking I would sorta miss the ground. I would joke it off that the earth rotated out from underneath me (I never fell just stumbled). I have had HA's as long as I can remember. It was always put off as being from birth control pills or just that time of the month. The doctor did a neurological exam and then decided to do an MRI of my brain to rule out MS. This scared me half to death, but you need to know. This is when I got my ACM-1 dx. This was Feb of this year. I submerged myself in all of the info that I could find and am now at the point of getting a second opinion. My first NS had the personality of a board and he recommended surgery after a trial of Diamox for 7 days. Aside from being very irritable and tired, it made the headaches go away. When I went off of it they came back and they were mad that I sent them away. Has anyone used this med on a long term basis? Anyhoot. That is pretty much my story. Thank you for listening. in Texas ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
