Hello
I have dealt with several autoimmune problems for several years. Only during the last year my "lupus fog" began to get much worse. I have very poor short term memory, some "chunks" of long term memory lost, neuropathies, dementia, aphasia, and now....herniated discs (thoracic and cervical). I have had mri's...brain and spine, CT's of lungs and brain, Genetic tests, lumbar puncture, and a zillion labs. So far, there is no sure cause of any of the neurological symptoms....everyone is just guessing. I found this site while searching for possible autoimmune connection with the disc problems. Anyone here have any ideas about this....or good places to look for information? I am starting physical therapy for the cervical discs next week. They are pushing on the spinal cord...I think he said? Any information will be extremely helpful. Thanks, Fran |

Welcome to NT
So sorry you have so many things to deal with. It's hard to keep yourself going and keep things straight with memory problems. You probably keep a diary and calendar. It's a good reference to have for many things. There's lots of info here and lots of caring people. I have bulging and herniated discs too. I don't know if autoimmune and disc problems have any correlation, other than pain is very distracting and can cause lots of problems. Hope to see you around the board.
