What do you think

I was diagnosed 9th Nov ish after loss of feeling in my feet and face, mri of brain and upper spine showed multiple leisions in brain and a large leision swelling in C1/C2 of my spine. 5 days IP steriods followed by oral (still on now down to 25mg). Each time I reduced the symtoms increased. Had repeat mri last wednesday which showed the whole spine, the C1/c2 is showing signs of improvement but i also have a mid and lower one the mid being quite bad. The Neuro said that he thinks I had one episode after another. I started Avonex 2 weeks ago and also started an epilipsy drug on Thursay (not for epilepsy).

My question after the waffle is when I lean my head forward onto my chest I get a tingly sensation in my lower spine do you think a chiropractor visit is in order or should I leave well alone until the episode has passed.

My chiros are my primary care, so I don't do anything without going to them. I've also never done any other scripts except LDN and antibiotics when needed.

Never did avonex, neurontin or steroids; but I'm convinced with chiropractic for me.

Thanks, I am just concerned about bone crucnhing, should I ask them not to do it at the moment, I have so much pain in my back and arm that I am scared of making it worse.

my chiros get faxed all my reports, so when I Had C5 & T5 lesions and areas of sclerosis, they 'adjusted accordingly'

I've also got L'Hermittes sign...Chiropractor has proven to help me out...Started getting the electricity in my legs more often lately, 2 trips later, it's certainly not as strong and not as persistent...Just my experience :) Hope you can find some relief as well!!!

A chiropractor isn't going to make those feelings go away. No matter what he might tell you. The problem is with the nervs. Because they are inflamed or damaged they give you those sensations. The anti-seizure med your dr gave you should help with that, if it isn't you should let him know so he can either increase the dosage or change meds. Good luck.

My chiro fixed my L'h sign's when I got them. Very rarely in the last 4 1/2 years, before that, a lot.

He's not told me he could, I told him he Did.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
