Re: [TMIC] to chiro or not to chiro

[Mary Eden Cochran]

I have to add my AMEN to all this 
positive stuff for chiropractic
care. It was a chiropractor that 
told me to get to a neurologist as
soon as possible because what I had going 
on was not a chiropractic
thing. He had just watched me walk 
down the hall and back to him
when he said that. SoI did just 
that and by the time I could get there, I had full blown TM.

I have also been seeing a chiropractor (for the last 2 
months). He has helped me immensely. The spasms in my lower back are 
so severe that all the surrounding tissue (hard and soft) is affected - I 
had bursitis in both hips, inflammation around my tail bone and hamstring and 7 
areas of pinched (scrunched) nerve ends. The chiro has reduced almost all 
the peripheral pain. As for the spasms, well...that's not his area of 
expertise. But he has given me back my life as it was 2 years ago. 
I have to add that I felt a chiro was my last resort. The neuro and my 
family doctor couldn't seem to help. I tried a homeopath for about a year 
and that didn't help. Then I tried Dit-Da medecine (Chinese, acupressure 
 cupping) and that was a waste of money too. My only revervation with 
the chiro was that he not crack my neck and he hasn't. He is, however, 
working on the soft tissue that has been affected from poor posture I seem to 
have acquired against the pain. All in all, a good experience. I am 
also having a weekly massage.

I'm so very sad about Dana Reeve's death. It is indeed a sad 
day. She was such a wonderful role model and truly a 
hero.

I know that GB is one of the things I was checked 
for the first few days in hospital prior to the TM diagnosis.

It is referred to as Acute Inflammatory Dymyelinating 
Polyneuropathy and progresses rapidly. There is also a chronic form which 
progresses slowly over a period of a few months.

I wonder if 6000mg of the flax seed would do the same thing?

I have always had very dry skin and of course it became more so ATM.  It's now better than it's ever been which is not so shabby for a 59 year old I reckon.I do believe also that it must improve the skin's elasticity because I'm not suffering from the drooping flesh which is so often a very unpleasant residual of huge weight loss.I have wanted to share this for some time but thought I should stifle my impulsive temperament for a little while to make sure I wasn't dreaming.Hope it's helpful to

Re: [TMIC] to chiro or not to chiro

[Heather Pieter]

Diane,

I'm not into chiro but glad it is helping you. However I do want to 
ask about your weekly massage. Is it Massage Therapy or just a 
massage. I think there is a difference but not sure about it. Just 
wondering. I have been going to look at my health benefits from my 
company. I'm on LTD but still covered by the health plan. Was 
thinking that either Massage Therapy or massage could help me. My low back 
prior to TM bothered me with disc problems and sciatica down the right leg which 
is also my weak one. I find that besides the TM I still have pain from the 
disc problem from time to time. LIke yourself carrying myself differently 
against the pain and the weakness also affects other muscle groups and I was 
hoping for some relief there as well.

Thanks 
Heather in Calgary

[Lanora Hodgson]

The only thing that I know about fish oil or flax seed either one, is that 
they are

supposed to be good for you.  I've never taken either one, yet.

yeah, really.

Did you go up slowly from 1 or 2, or did you just start taking 6 in one

I'm interested 'cause I've got about 15 pounds that need to go

Thanks for the warm welcome:  I did get some surgery:and no, it did not
fix things so I don't have to wear diapers!  I guess I'm stuck with this

Hope all is well with you.

 You have been rather busy of late and I am sorry for your problems
 but sure am glad you found time to return to the fold and help us out
 again.

 Blessings,
