Helloo
Craniosacral therapy relieved pain and a hugely distended abdomen
(which I hid for 8 months.)
The fascia under our skin is like a net holding everything in. It
gets "kinked" Myofascial release (having to do with relaxing the
fascia as it interfaces with the muscle and craniosacral - having to
do with the cranium, dura, spinal cord and dural sack.)The therapist
finds the beginning and ending of these "kinks" or restrictions and
releases the tightness. This takes pressure off the fascial system,
decreasing the symptoms.
I recently had a brace made for my left leg which has increased my
balance tremendously. It is for "drop foot" and picks my foot up
automatically. Also, have orthodics for high arch.

HI Susan,
Thank you for the information. I smiled when I read your diagnosis
of Brown Sequard Syndrome, because it reminded me of the first time
it was used by a neuro in my presence. I was seeing the neuro who
diagnosed me in the hospotal with TM but his office was 70 miles
away. I asked my PCP for a referral to a neuro closer to home. The
new neuro spoke into his recorder during my visit and said,
"Patient has Brown Sequard Syndrome. I was stressed and said "No,
I'm here for Transverse Myelitis". He was annoyed with me for
interrupting him. I asked the office manager to find out what the
new term was and looked it up when I got home. Duh! They could
have saved me a lot of worry if it had been explained it wasn't yet
another ugly illness and just the symptoms my body portrayed. TM
has been a learning experience regarding all the medical terminology.
Now I need to look up cranial sacral therapy. How has it helped you?

thank you for all these wonderful websites!
my neurologist at Barrows Neurological Clinics in Phoenix AZ says -
no flu or shingles shots.
I've never had either.
Tried 10 sessions of acupuncture... no clue if it helped.
Many sessions of Cranial Sacral Therapy by RCST certified therapist -
phenomenal results - helped more than anything I have tried.
B 12 shots twice a week help also.
