That looks okay so far. Your magnesium chews have two
sweeteners that could be laxative for some people. Combined with magnesium, they could be "more" laxative. But many people don't react to them, so if you DO get loose, then cut the chewy in half and take one half in the morning and the other half in the evening with dinner.

GNC tends to be more expensive than other brands, so when these are done and you want to get more because you are feeling better, we can give you sources more affordable.

Thanks a lot for your time Mrs.D

Yes i feel GNC is expensive medicines. I will follow your instructions on magnesium chews.

I will keep you informed about further improvements or doctor's findings.
I am going to do further tests on 2/17 - Cervical EMG/NCV, LUE, LLE
and i will get results on 2/22.

I'm glad to hear you are having more investigations of possible cervical involvement. Although your B12 levels can certain cause SFN, it doesn't typically present with such a rapid inset as yours did. The onset and your accident wasn't a coincidence...it has to have something to do with it.

Autoimmune conditions are 'triggered' by most commonly infection of some sort, but they can also be triggered by trauma...in the form of surgery, injury, etc...anything that causes physical trauma to the body where there is an immune system response.

Of course, there could be some hidden damage the MRI didn't pick up (did they use contrast?).

At least they are looking to make sure nothing is going on in the neck. And regardless of what set this off, now knowing your B12 is factor and doing something about will help you in the long run.

Thanks en bloc.
Yes, It seems that this trauma and/or Alcohol withdrawals at same time might have triggered some existing health issues, which may be related to cervical spondylosis and/or B12 and D deficiency. So now it will be interesting to see what nerve conduction test says. And yes MRI is not that trustworthy.. as X-rays had shown Spina bifida at C7-T1 but MRI didn't showed it. LOL !!!

You might need to question the accuracy of the MRI...or even that it really is YOURS, if it doesn't show the spina-bifida. That is a strong indication that they may have mixed up your scan with someone else...seriously.

That is not something easily missed (I have spina-bifida as well). It is possible to mix up imaging with the person coming in behind you, as your name is already in the system (and they forget to put in the new patient info). Then their scan becomes your second scan...and the one on record. It is certainly worth bringing up...and easy to confirm by the doctor looking at the images itself to see if your spina bifidia is there...if not, then it's not your scan (spina-bifida doesn't go away). Kinda like looking at dental xray and yours fillings aren't there any more...lol

Just a thought.

Thanks for bringing this point.
Today i have an appointment with my primary physician, I will talk about this if there is spina bifida visible in MRI images, just to make sure it is my real MRI result.

Did he confirm the spina bifida on your MRI?

I assume you will go see an ophthalmologist for consult?
