[FONT="Century Gothic"] Hi, well to begin, I am on SSDI and I have been 'retired' from doing work as a Certified Nursing Assistant, and Former Nursing Student, since 1994 .

I did not develop the Physical, Neurological, Chronic Pain and other disorders until around 2002. I know that I was misdiagnosed as Chronic Paranoid Schizphrenic. Now I have only a few scripts coming to treat the mental health side.

I now see a pain management doctor since all began as mainly pain back in 2003 and now has progressed rapidly. Last MRI showed that I have Cervical Spinal Stenosis in C6-7 as well as bulging disc, DDD, and Disc Bulge and DDD in C4-5 and the lordosis of Cspine is out of natural curve.

Called when I dont feel well, and go to the ER or Doctor for anything I get told all part of my " Chrionic Condiotion", though I have over and over told them immediatly I am NOT here to get pain medications I just want to understand more of whats wrong. Seems each time is always 'symptomatic' and causes alot of depression and pain, emotionally and physically.

Have trouble with agorriphobia so am almost home bound. I just wanted to share some and sorry of htsi miess only today i am suffering mroe confusion than usual.

Aso am upset as I have been 'on line' or conneted on line for over 4 hours now and seems all I am able to recall is an hour or two and I only have been to email and here, so htis jsut adds to the anxiety of being unsure what is wrong with me.
Thanks for taking time to read , & hope I get to know you all.

Hi, my name is ginnie. I read the thread you wrote and feel for you. I don't know much about your mental state, but mine is confused alot too. I have reversal of the lordosis, and I found out I have so much wrong since my last surgery, that I am in shock this a.m.I had a new CAT done, and I am told I need some really scarry surgery. I already did that...post C-6-7 fussion with a plate. I have DDD and DJD both, affection 3-7. Narrowing of the cord and cord compression. I do sympathise with all these people I am finding on this site who go through alot. I am here because I am terrified. I feel like a rabbit in the headlights, to stunned to move. I am going to be in this site today alot in hopes of find out somemore information about my CT. I have not made the appt. with the surgeon. You also have some of these issues, just talk about it and maybe we can find some people here who can help. Post another and I will talk to you too. ginnie
