Well, actually, Barbara, the reason I didn't mention them by name is
because I couldn't remember. I only heard him say them once (to me) at
the follow-up visit, although he may have mentioned them in my chart or
in the meetings they had to discuss/manage cases when I wasn't there at
the time of my hospitalization.

Sorry I can't be more help.

Considering that some of my neurological symptoms, specifically the pain
in my left leg, have come back again since I haven't had cranio-sacral
and chiropractic treatments for the last four months, not to mention the
stiffness and pain in my back, I am more keen than ever on some of these
alternative treatments, including acupuncture. The chiropractic and
cranio-sacral treatments work slowly, so it's harder to see the benefits,
so this break in treatment has been an eye-opener. If I were having your
new symptoms, I'd be at the acupuncturist's office in a flash and at
least once a week for a while. Acupuncture is really good for
neurological problems, including MS, if that turns out to be a real
possibility.

Have you ever considered acupuncture? It's important to go to someone
with extensive training (not six months worth). Some insurance policies
even cover it. With our diagnosis, too, it's easier to push the envelope
because the regular medicine folks don't have much to offer.

Sorry I can't be more help.

Dear Aurore,
In a note to the list Jan 29 (I think), you mentioned that a dr. at
the rehab hospital you were in said your attack could be an earlier
manifestation of MS or various other diseases; then, after a year and a
half, you were told that since you were progressing, you didn't have to
worry about MS or these other diseases. I'm curious as to what other
diseases he mentioned.

Thanks!
Barbara
