Hi alisha...

      My name is Trish and i also suffer with arachnoiditis and go to a pain clinic for treatment...I had 3 back surgerys due to a tumor on my spine and also in the thy sac. I have suffered with arachnoitis for about 2 years and right know i am what i would call stable. I dont know what treatment you are on but i take morphine and tramodlol. I also take nurotin and cymbalta which is also used for nerve pain in my legs. When i relised that i really cant do what i use to do and stoped trying alot of the pain went away. It seems like for me that it will come and i will suffer alot for a number of months and then it will stop and then return again. Right know it has been a good six months, I still take my medicine but i also take it really easy. I understand that it is hard with little  ones, but if i was you  if you dont have a pain specialist i would look into getting one and then ask them if they ever heard of it . If not educate them on it buy down loading stuff off the computer and sending it to them. l live in lower Michigan, about an hour out of Detroit so i can get to good doctors and that means alot. Please email me back and tell me about ur se.....you are not alone here even though it feels like it.

                               god bless

Hello,

My name's Alisha... I'm 20 years old, and was diagnosed with
Arachnoiditis just a few days ago. It was the result of an epidural
with several complications. It's quite difficult for me to chase
around my 2 year old, and get any work done. The pain and numbness are
becoming progressively worse. In my past experiences, I've learned to
not trust everything a doctor advises.... I was looking for advice,
and feedback from people who have experienced treatment for this
disorder. Thanks...
