Wow!!! First, kudos for making it to this point! I"ll be 2 years in about 2 months so I know what a long haul it can be! You are doing wonderfully and your attitude will help you keep pursuing treatment to get better. You ROCK!

As for the radiologist, yikes! Having issues with those disks definetly would explain some of the issues you are still experiencing! Shame on him for missing that in his report. I mean seriously, I would think that would be the first thing that a person would look at based on your situation!

Keep at it You'll keep getting better!
