    • Good Luck

      From wildflower64 October 26

      Thanks for the reply,I really appreciate it! It's so frustrating, I worked so hard at my job and always tried to do my best and now I wonder if it was worth it. My life has changed so dramatically,it's extremely frustrating! I wonder if my life will ever be as I once knew it. I try to stay positive but it's hard when daily living is painful! Aah, I guess noone ever said life was fair though, I could always have it much worse! At least I'm surrounded by people who love me and that's whats most important! Good luck!

      I don't know yet... I don't even know which back problem all these symptoms are coming from. I see the orthopaedic surgeon on thursday and then I can get a referral to the neurologist. Syringomyelia is so rare that you can only go to certain ones because the others know nothing about it. Just in a very frustrating wait and see game that I'd love to just drop out of, except it's not a game, but my life. I'll deal with whatever God gives me, but I'm not always patient or quiet about it! lol
