Hi Everyone.
I had unsubscribed for quite sometime and needed some help that only our TM friends would understand. Terry had been in increased pain of the lower extremities for the past few months. He thought it may JUST be TM rearing it's ugly head, but decided to check it out. He had a spinal MRI yesterday and he has Severe Spinal Stenosis, severe enough that they want him to go to emergency tomorrow and see the Neurosurgeon, (getting an appt. takes weeks/months, ya know)? They pretty much concluded that he will need surgery. He trusts his doctor implicitly, but of course needs the surgeons opinion. Have any of you been DX'd with SSS? If so, what treatments besides starting on mega does of steroids again, works? The doc fears if he gets on a large dose, he won't be able to get off of it. He is currently on 7 mg daily and has been forever it seems. How is everyone? I have missed all of you but am fortunate to get private emails from some of you. xoxo Sandy Parker.
