I'm once agian frustated with no answers.He had told my husband and I that maybe I should consider to see a phyciatrist that maybe they could find out something that they haven't been able to do so. So, yes I'm grateful,upset, a bit confussed,and very annoyed also in ways I judt don't understand . He also told me to continue to see my other Dr. that does injections of botox in my neck,forhead and tempels,it does work for me. I 'm stumped on the fact that why do I lose my balance at times and also studder,and the involuntaring tremors I have only on my right side. It's very upsetting....; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Lene on January 9, 2010 at 9:52pm: I am not sure if I ever introduced myself to the group of Chronic Pain. I hang on several boards but now I need the support of this board to be sure! My name is Eileen or Lene which I have used since being labled in school. I have Cervical Dystonia/ Spasmodic Torticollis/Spinal tendinitis/Spinal Spondylosis. I am in pain to say the least. I do go to a pain doctor and a neurologist for my dystonia.. I need to read in your forum for support of my pain. I cry more now again then I use to. I feel I am losing my grip. I was a strong woman and taught my children to be the same. I am failing myself in how I am allowing pain to bring me to my knees. I don't know what to do...hum.
So I am grateful for places like Wego to help me try and get a grip back and fight!!!; ▶ Reply to This

This is the place for you Lene. Especially if you are on your knees. You are a wonderful Health Activist, and I know you of all people understand that the best place to be to reach out and help someone else up is when you're on your knees. God bless sweetie, and be sure to PM me if you ever need anything. I wish I could do more for everyone here...; ▶ Reply to This

Thanks for filling in the missing info. Welcome to the Chronic Pain group. I'm so glad you found the intro thread and told us a little about yourself.

Why don't you start a discussion in the group and tell as much about your symptoms, tests and treatments as you can. Such as - do you ever have headache or Migraine? Have you ever had a lumbar puncture to find the pressure of your CSF? etc. Maybe somebody can come up with something that might help.; ▶ Reply to This
