Hi Brianna,

 

I have been diagnosed witharachoiditis for 8 years, yes life is difficult.  I have had 4 surgeries, from the initial lower lumbar surgery in 2001 laminectomy, fusion, spinal cord stimulator in 2005 and a revision of the that stimulator in 2006.  I have also had the epidural injections, without any luck to trying to burn the nerves in 2007, without any relief.  I know it is difficult to function and people do not understand your life unless they have experienced it personally.  Well, I am at the point of just going to pain management every month with a host of medications I take daily to help function, but this is about as good as it gets.  Feel free to email me.  

You are not alone.  Where are you and your husband located?  Melissa
