Hi everybody,

I feel like quitting, but quitting what?

I was dx with a 3mm Chiari last Feb. Nsg dx from an old MRI. Though I would

much rather not have chiari, I was relieved that there was a reason why I had

so many symptoms and perhaps a cure in sight.

Then I had another MRI - not clear whether I had Chiari.

NSG orderded a CINE MRI. That one says no blockage or flow or chiari.

I do have two slightly bulging disks at c5-c6 aand c6-c7. Nsg said the he

hadn't paid much attention to them because they were so small. However, the

EMG showed that I had severe nerve damage in my right arm. NSG didn't

believe that such a small disk could cause any major problems, besides, I am

a lot more symptomatic than a bad disk could cause.

So anyway, today he ordered a diskogram, just to make sure the disks were

okay or not.

Nsg said I could be borderline chiari. Could that cause a lot of problems.

I know what I am feeling is not normal. If the disk has caused my arm

problem, what is causing the rest.

I really wish I could give up and just say, forget the whole thing. I will

live this way and not let it bother me - if I were only strong enough.

Sorry for venting, but I am really in the dumps. I hate feeling the way I

feel, I hate being off work for so long, I hate not being able to pay my

bills, I guess right now I just hate everything. Except for all of you.

Thanks for letting me vent,

Margie

It's strange to me that I only have severe damage in one arm and not the

other, because the symptoms have been the same in both arms. Lately my right

arm doesn't feel as bad, probably because of the damage.

Anyway, I always feel as if I am wearing something on my arms, even when my

arms are bare. I get shooting pains that feel as if I had hit my funny bone.

Goes up my arms and down into my fingers.

I',m always getting shotting pains in my fingers. Sometimes it feels as if I

had just hit the tips of my fingers with a hammer.

I also get little spots of pain, as if a strong man were grabbing my arm and

squezzing it with his thumb and forefinger. It feels as if my arm should

have been bruised by it, but all it is is pain.

When I wear my cervical coller the arms are better than when I don't.

Anyway, that's how my arms feel, don't knowif this helps.

Take Care

Margie
