Hi Paula - welcome from me too. I've been suffering with this for a
few years, but only fairly recently diagnosed. I feel this will be
an excellent place to exchange views, information and as Gloria says,
just to vent - especially when we feel we are getting nowhere. Keep
in touch and let us know how you are getting on with the treatment.

Take care.

Sally.

p.s. Karin - it would be great to hear from you here....

lamonectomy, and fusion already, and not to be discouraging , but for
me not much has helped, I have learned to live with it though. Some
days are bad, some are good. I'm still walking most all the time
without assistance. I just need to be careful on stairs, and uneven
surfaces. My left side is really off, but praise God! I could be in
worst shape. I manage a very small part time job, and I am very
active in other ways. Your life becomes different, but life is what
you make it. At least people who suffer like we do can actually say
that we are beginning to understand what Job went through, and by
learning from him we can give all praise and thanks to God, because
He knows what he is doing. So keep us all informed, and let us know
what you would like us to pray for in your behalf. God bless, Gloria

yesterday. I am 47 with mild cervical spondylosis. I have multiple
levels of degeneration going on as well as some stenosis. The week of
Sept. 21 I was hospitalized with extreme pain and stroke symptoms. No
new stroke and an MRI of the head showed nothing new had occured.
They did a cervical epidural and it worked for about a week and a
half. My pt guy said that since the epidural worked I probably have
some degeneration going on in my neck. So I began to search the
internet. I ran across stuff on this condition and showed it to my
husband, pt guy and doctor. sounded to them this might be what is
going on. So the doc ordered the x-rays for two days ago and ta-
dah ....I was right.
