Guest guest Posted October 20, 2002 Report Share Posted October 20, 2002 Hi Wanda, my name is . I have had a bad back for sometimes now. I have had 4 surgeries, 2 of those fusion's. (L3-L4, L4-L5, and LS-S1) I think that is what they are called. Anyway its the last three disc. Last March 2 of the screws had broken and was replace back in Aug. I am still on medical leave on that. And I for my part I am still hurting a lot. Maybe it will get better as time goes on. I take pain pills that has codeine in them that helps with the pain. And I have double the pills and then I do too much and pay for it.. Well, just wanted to welcome you too the group. Take care, of the South (Texas) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Hi Wanda, welcome. I joined this group after having rapid progression of a disorder I didn't know I had. Once diagnosed I joined this group, which has been great and learned a few things. For myself, I discovered that the medication I was taking for cholesterol is on the list of things people with CMT should not take. Obviously, I didn't know not to take it as I didn't know I had CMT at the time. In retrospect, however, I can correlate the acceleration of symptoms to the time when I was taking that medication. For that reason, I'd encourage you to look at the files here and see if there is a reason for your sudden progression. It just may be the way things are, but if there's something you can do to slow things down it would be fantastic. Hope to keep hearing from you.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Hi Holli, Thank you for the welcome. I make sure to keep the medicine list checked frequently. We found black mold in our home and we think it had something to do with my progression. I haven't lived there for the last couple of months and I have seen some improvement. Hopefully it continues. I'm glad to be here and thanks again! Wanda > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
