We all got sick from my grandson. However, his Covid-19 test came back negative. It was like a three day cold. It had me worried a little bit because it went straight to my lungs...everything does....

Thanks for the link to that arch table, Ed! I've been looking for something like that for decades. During my weight training days, I used a device where I could do back-ups....like sit-ups for the...

The brain evidence doesn't surprise me. Good old herpes retreats into the nerves, not to mention mono causing long term disease. I could go on and on. Viruses change our DNA sequencing, so no...

Ed,
We have to keep a sense of humor or we will go mad. I remember watching Benny Hill. My husband and I sometimes watch the old Dean Martin comedy hour on the internet. It's a temporary distraction...

You guys are making me feel old just for the fact that I know who Benny Hill is!...lol

As we all know viruses can be nasty little things. It doesn't surprise me. That's another good reason doctors...

Thanks, everyone! I will do my best. It's been 17 years. I've been studying up all spring and summer. This is really exciting!

Ed, I'm sorry about your dad.

Sorry, I had to keep things going on this thread. I couldn't start a new one for some reason.

Just wanted you all know I got accepted to start graduate school in the Fall. I have been diagnosed...

Thanks, Jackie!

I am very careful not to go over 3,000mg of Acetaminophen. I can't use ibuprofen as it interferes with my heart rhythm. I use naproxen sodium. I stay well within the recommended...

Just an FYI: My pain is no worse now than when I had been on the narcotics. In my case, they seem to lose a lot of efficacy after about a month. Then chemical dependence kicks in. Once you get past...

Narcotics are definitely a touchy subject. Weaning is very painful. The best help I found was to exercise when I could and keep myself distracted. There are individuals that seem to manage better on...

I'm on OTC painkillers now. Nothing stronger than Tylenol and Aleve. As some of you know I was on very STRONG opiates for many years. I struggled more then with pain management than I do now. It...

Thanks for the welcome back Ed and Linda!

Things could be worse. They didn't expect me to live to see 50 and I'm 51! I'm seeing a neurologist every three months right now so he can get my meds...

Thanks, Pooka! I will try to post here again, now that I have a computer. I've missed the discussions, but honestly haven't been physically well. I am grateful that my progression has been stable....

JScoli91,

My apologies. I must have read another post and put it together with yours in my mind when I replied. You mentioned nothing of pain. I hope you are pain free!
I was looking at Ed's...

Hello,

I have a neuromuscular disease that could be a contributor to my scoliosis. I have muscle tension in places like my neck (I get Botox injections for that) and muscle weakness in other...

Hello everyone,

I'm back after several years of not having a computer. I'm posting in this section because I've opted not to pursue surgery. I have developed osteopenia and my curve has been...

Gayle,

This is just a thought, but there could be quite limited knowledge about true JIS, thus fewer articles on the subject. I say this because unless the JIS curve/s are large enough to catch...

Gayle,

It appears that curve patterns can change over time. Like I mentioned earlier, my son's scoliosis completely disappeared. Those curves are so small that the right curve isn't even...

Flerc,
To be fair I haven't read any other comments on this thread. I read the article and looked at her pictures.
She obviously still has a significant deformity. Many people live with their...

Any continuation of this topic could be a hot mess. It speaks for itself.

I hope you enjoy your stay. I've been to NY once. I found it to be a beautiful state. I love pine forests, though. I stayed away from the city. We were near Saratoga which is famous for it's...

Hello, Burdle.
I'm the queen of "high thoracic"...LOL No, it's not funny just ironic. I've yet to meet anyone with a high thoracic. Why do they say that the thoracic and the lumbar are the...

Kathy, I will PM you as I don't want to derail Mike's thread. :-)

Mike, that would be my "hope" as well. That is being off of all narcotics. My situation just doesn't lend for that. I have a very painful muscle disease so my only goal would be to get straightened...

Mike,

Since I've been seeing Tribus for such a long time I can tell you that he definitely has always had a good bedside manner and, at least with me, had a deep concern for making the right call...
