Hi Selma,
I was checked for ms and Lyme disease and have had several mri's and loads of blood work done, but I'm not sure if that means my doc checked for all that you mentioned. He just told me besides what I'm facing now that I am very healthy. He thinks my recovery should be a breeze. The next time I speak to him I'm going to ask about those conditions. Thanks
This site is so helpful I'm glad I found it.
Hi...yes this is very scary...and some have had bad experiences...sometimes it is due to not knowing that the patient also had other related conditions...it is very important to rule out related conditions and other conditions with similar symptoms....
Tests to rule out similar conditions are for MS, lupus, lymes....these are typical to have done.
Testing for related conditions....sleep apnea, disk issues, tethered cord, ICP, POTS, syringomyelia,ehlers-danlos, CCI,retroflexed odontoid.
It is important that these related issues r looked at b4 surgery is done as it can affect how u feel and heal post op.
