Guest guest Posted September 17, 1999 Report Share Posted September 17, 1999 thanks for all the lovely email welcoming me. I am 32 yo, married to a wonderful man, Mike, who is very understanding, two children Kathleen, 5 and 4 who are unsure of why Mommy doesn't feel like playing all the time. I live in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia. My NSG is Renn Holness at the Queen Hospital in Halifax. Anyone else out there from Canada? I met him Sept 7, 99 for the first time. He's done about 50 decompression surgeries with good success and is attempting to find me a bed for October. He doesn't feel that I'm displaying any neurological symptoms at the moment but believes in having the surgery ASAP to stop the progression. My main complaint is cough-headache and constant pressure in the back and top of my head and neck. I also have frequent bouts of tinitus, eye floaters, dizzyness and debilitating fatigue, but I've lived with everything so long that these seem "normal". I've been reading your posts since I found out about ACM and you all sound like great people with more knowledge than the battery of dr's I've been to in the last two years. It is interesting to note that my mother has all the signs of advanced chiari/syringomyelia (still trying to get an MRI) and that her sister had spina-bifida. I worry about my kids but I keep being assured that this is not hereditary. Sorry to go on so long, it's nice to know I can relate to others. Thanks again, in Nova Scotia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 30, 1999 Report Share Posted September 30, 1999 > I can't seem to retrieve the Doctor's List. I will post the list of doctor's to the list, seems how Ronny already posted Peggy Guin's paper. This time I will even delete all of the extra text! Slap my hands. http://www.pressenter.com/~chip/kathleen.htm Kathleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Hi Amy My name is Lee from Australia 52 years old this saturday. Was diagnosed about 10 years ago. Can never relaly remember exactly. Was told all my life I had asthma and bronchitis. yep have sinus issues too. My concern is your work environment. Anywhere there is water there is a risk of pseudomonas. Public toilets etc are havens for germs too becuase of the water splashed on the sinks. If I were you I would carry some antibacterial wipes so you can be sure your hands are germ free after touching or coming into contact with some of the places in your work. Please dont hesitate to ask questions here. We are a friendly bunch and always someone has some answers for you as we are all different with our bronch and have tried different things. I am one who loves alot of garlic and onions and chili to ward off infections. They are natural antibiotics and help Hope this helps Cheers Lee Get the name you always wanted with the new y7mail email address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
