Another person married to another cousin had that dye thing done. He died. I would be very wary of any of it.
And the lumber puncture seems to be to find out if a person has an autoimmune disease, etc. |
After reading the description of Arachnoiditis......read like I was reading about myself.
All symptoms..... except do not have the uncontrollable twitching.
Causes......had dye used in Myelogram,
epidural steroid injections, nerve compression.
Spinal stenosis still bad; but lamina removed from worst area to allow spinal cord more space.
Many spinal procedures,
Also had lumbar spinal fusion as well.
Yikes....Have to wonder. Never been diagnosed with Arachnoiditis, but am under Pain Management with pain meds, including Oxycontin, Oxydodone, Vallium daily, and in order to sleep or even lay down without terrible pain, use Ambien CR every evening.
