Hi Tina,
Gosh I am sorry I hadn't got back to u, I lost u...lol and site,I was ill,then my email/password stopped working (it was right),I apoligize deeply, I had first spine surgery 1991 after a fall at work, unfortunatly it was pedicale screw/steffie plate, screw came loose toggling on nerve, doc knew i smoked, (Pedicle screw scandle)nothing said,
I did nothing.just wanted pain to go away but i had 6-7 more surgeries.Dorsal column stim. a few times, which made me worse as was implanted on my sciatic nerve,another shocked my whole body,neck etc.(removed 1 1/2 yrs ago, I was very very lucky a doc helped me because of my pain,we found him in Denver Colorado who would check me/medical records etc. I live in Col,he removed implant Unfortunatly he also said I cannot be his patient,once he removed implant.
no doc will touch me,won't fix what another doctor(s)broke I was told, yes altitude is bad Copd now, I lost everything when hubby died and I am here fighting w/ Veterans. but I love it here! Tina there have been so many errorsRe-surgeries, I have atrophy in left thigh, old story was given to me No pain/no gain, All in my head I now tried acupunture as last resort, it does give me relief of a sort, I walk slumped over,it eases pain.
w/ acup. I can stand a wee bit straighter,BUT my thighs get numb a no win situation I guess.I have a wonderful caregiver,I would not be here if not for her and a councilor I see.I just couldnt cope anymore all same time losing my hubby,home, my mom then just lost 2 brothers each one on each others birthday, I have my austr,cattle dog,who is my life and here for her, she went through all this w/ me and believe me when i tell you she knows,senses my pain,licks my bad leg(left),how she knows? I wish I knew,she is 10 yrs old and now fear losing her, Yes I keep extremely healthy can live to be 25. she is my whole life!!!!
I am on NY Comp..in the process of getting more acupunture, after i was denied after 6 visits, I have no doubt that WCb will ok it,
God knows I wish I could explain my life and the severity of pain, but also there are a lot more people worse than me. I am sorry about this long letter but I just keep going and going.. I sorry! I sure wish I knew you,I can tell by your writings, your kindness and knowledge and a lot more great qualities! "KARMA" I believe in.

Thanks so so much your help in more ways than one!
