Guest guest Posted August 30, 2002 Report Share Posted August 30, 2002 , I consider both my surgeries to have been quite successful. My first one, at age 20, stopped all the symptoms I'd been having and prevented any new ones for 9 years. My second surgery halted muscle wasting, pain progression, loss of bowels. I went into surgery with moderate to severe pain, major loss of leg strength, and no bladder function at all. I came out with moderate pain, some increase in leg strength, and my bowels haven't gotten worse at all, which makes me feel good because I know that might have been the next step. I have to say, I went into surgery expecting exactly what I got. I was hoping to get more pain relief, but any was fine with me. The fact that my legs have built some muscle is just great. I didn't expect miracles, just a halting in progression. --- klr818 wrote: > Hello, > > Thanks to everyone for all your helpful posts. > There's something > I've been wanting to ask: > > How many of you have had successful untethering > surgery? > > What I mean by that is surgery that stopped further > progression > of nerve damage, or worsening of pain.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2002 Report Share Posted September 11, 2002 Well, After my persistence, they seem to be patronizing me, they said for her to do rehab, well that more then they said before. They are pretty much just blowing her pain off saying that they will probably never know what, or where the pain is from. I read the article about (I'm sure I am going to spell this wrong), archonditis, and I brought that to thier attention, but they said that there was no way it could be that. So, I asked about the " other symptoms " , and she has been complaing of 3 of them, tingling in her feet, and numbness there too. Also, she has had this awful itch. Well, I think I have about had it here, we have been her for 4 days, and they are sending her home tomorrow, with a we can't do anything for her comment! Thanks for letting me vent!

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2002 Report Share Posted September 11, 2002 Well, what kind of pain is she having? They just assingned her a new " Rehab team " , with all of the toppings, pt, psychlogist, etc..... Gotta love the run around, and the worse part is, they assign a team to her, and her doctors haven't even been by to see her! HA HA!

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2002 Report Share Posted September 16, 2002 Its not that they are not treating her pain, but they are not treating it succesfully, they act like she it the only person who has ever had pain post-op. And, that makes me even more mad! I questioned why she wasn't being treated and they said there was nothing else medically they could do!

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 I'm having many more carbs than before. I have 4-5 extra carbs per day. Honestly, I'm starting to get burned out with all the food and it doesn't help that being sick a few days ago made me lose my appetite although I continued to eat all meals. I think I may need to lower my calories for the last few weeks of this challenge and then go back to increasing carbs the next challenge. My strength continues to increase during my workouts so really all is pretty good! I believe that I will eventually break the weight plateau. But if I keep getting stronger and don't break it, I won't complain either. I just have a need to see some time of improvement to keep me motivated.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 A protagonist is not good or bad in and of themselves. It only means that a protagonist is one who 'changes'. So if a good person changes to bad or a bad person changes to good, it doesn't matter. They don't even have to be the main character (and most often aren't anyway) As long as they in someway changed who they are and how they view the world, they are the protagonist.TammyTo: Soundsensitivity Sent: Sat, March 27, 2010 7:43:32 PMSubject: (unknown) I hate that so much.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 I really like this group. I have only been in it for a week and find it very helpful. I have a new question, though, and that is I also have anticipatory anxiety of the expectation that the neighbors will play their bass. Even though right now as I write this, it is quiet, but I am nervous that I will hear the bass. Usually when I have a day off I am so happy to be able to relax and just hang out for a change, but ever since they moved in and I have heard their bass, etc., I find myself being on edge and also looking for excuses to leave. So I would like to not have the anticipatory anxiety, too. Subject: (unknown)To: Soundsensitivity Date: Monday, November 22, 2010, 3:10 PM Terry, I do, too. I finally signed a complaint against a bar on the main strip (I am across the street, five houses down on a side street), because they blast bass and it comes in my house, right through the walls and floorboards. Last week I signed a complaint, and this last Friday, too. The police dept must think im a crazy woman because last friday they sent 5 cops to my house. I printed off an article from residents of Ft.Lauderdale, Fl, who were fighting the bars for making so much noise. One resident said that even though their homes have thick, hurricane-resistant glass windows, the bass still comes through because it travels through building ventilation systems. So i know exactly how you feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 I think what you are experiencing is entirely normal and prob has not much to do with 4S. NOBODY wants to hear anybody blast their bass, it is a universally disgusting thing... if you are in an apt you ought to complain, maybe there is something in your lease that states if they don't quiet down, they can be evicted.... > > > > Subject: (unknown) > To: Soundsensitivity > Date: Monday, November 22, 2010, 3:10 PM > > >  > > > > > > > > > Terry, I do, too. I finally signed a complaint against a bar on the main strip (I am across the street, five houses down on a side street), because they blast bass and it comes in my house, right through the walls and floorboards. Last week I signed a complaint, and this last Friday, too. The police dept must think im a crazy woman because last friday they sent 5 cops to my house. >  I printed off an article from residents of Ft.Lauderdale, Fl, who were fighting the bars for making so much noise. One resident said that even though their homes have thick, hurricane-resistant glass windows, the bass still comes through because it travels through building ventilation systems. >  So i know exactly how you feel. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Hello anthony,As mentioned to you in private emails, I believe it will be beneficial if you could provide more information on your articles, be it abstracts, web links or copies of the articles themselves or a titleIll be searching for them this weekend and post what I find but more information would help others be able to comment furtherR Sent from my BlackBerry® smartphone on 3Sender: Soundsensitivity Date: Fri, 25 Mar 2011 18:55:37 +0000 (GMT)To: <Soundsensitivity >ReplyTo: Soundsensitivity Subject: (unknown) I have proposed that many serious developmental disorders arise from the inner and/or middle ears, not the brain as currently believed. These include autism, audiosensitivity, dyslexia, etc. So the presence of chronic ear infections should be regarded as a vauable clue rather than an irrelevant nuisance. Unfortunately, despite many pieces in peer-reviewed journals, no one will take this idea seriously, and until then I cannot take it any further.
