My doc`s office called today and I now have a referal to go and see a Neuro-doc in Lubbock but I first have to get another MRI of mywhole back.This will be # 14 on the MRI`s that I have had just for the SM.I guess because they need to see if there is any change in the one in my c-spine that was operated on,I have a feeling that the shunt has plugged because they said it usually does and the fact that I am having more of the same symptoms that I had before.You know the numbness in my hand`s ,the feeling like my finger tip`s are on fire,and sharp pains in my arms and neck.I also got my notice that in October I will have Medicare,so I will have Insurance that dosen`t rely on someone else having a job.I have heard that it is more problems than it is worth but when you need it and it`s not there then you start to wonder if you will be able to get any kind of treatment.We also got our forms for the Ameriquest settelment today and I am not sure if it`s a good thing or not after all they screwed up our credit and took our house and all they are going to have to pay back is a little over a thousand dollars,it just dosen`t seam right that they can get away with something like that if you ask me.That is what I call a slap in my face and I don`t think that I should let them get away with it,but what can I do?I would really like to know who they paid off to get such an easy slap on the hand.I just wonder if there are more people that are in the same situation because of them and if they are going to do something about it on there own.If there are I might just joun there group in a different Class Action Law Suit agianst Ameriquest and all the other names that they are under.Well now that I have  got that off my chest,sorry if I have went on for to long about this  but sometimes you just have to let it out.How is everyone doing,I have sort of lost touch with you guy`s this week and I am really sorry,but as you can see I have had a very busy week and haven`t been able to talk to all of you in awhile.I hope that everyone is in good health and great spirit`s.I have decided that I have so many friend`s that it is hard for me to talk to all of you every day so I will try and be more avalable to write to you in the future,I am keeping my fingers crossed that I can keep up with you,so bare with me ok.I thank God every day that he has led me to you guy`s and I pray for you every day.I guess I will go for now and I will keep you posted on how my SM doctor`s are and anything else that I can remember.Your friend M.
