Index Number: 12444 [This is from the Chronic Pain Conference on Fidonet] I would like to announce that we are now receiving this Echo and that I am a Chronic Pain suffer. I was just advised only yesterday that the disk between number 5 & 6 in my neck is gone and that I have calcium build-up on the ligaments in my neck and this could be causing the sever head pain and neck pain. I have had back, neck and head pain since 1979 and have been on almost every drug there is. I was on Talwin & Flexerial for 6 years, uses a *TENS* unit, had cortizone injections with little to no releif. I was on Feldene and two weeks ago changed to Voltaren (2 a day) and Propoxy Naps100mg/apap if needed. Istill have the headace's but at least I can live with them (this week anyway). Had a CATS SCAN this week and have to see a nuro surgen this next week. They tell me that I Could and probbly will loose the use of my neck real soon if they can't do something *FAST*. Well More later....... --==John Wells==-- -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!154!501!John.Wells Internet: John.Wells@f501.n154.z1.fidonet.org

Index Number: 13774 [This is from the Chronic Pain Conference on Fidonet] Ahh, yes, chronic pain. I have a form of arthritis known as Ankylosing Spondylitis (also known as bamboo spine and made public by the recently late Norman Cousins). Normal life is nearly impossible. I would be interested in conversing with anyone out there about chronic pain. Please, drop me a line. -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!369!4!Tim.Obrien Internet: Tim.Obrien@f4.n369.z1.fidonet.org

Index Number: 15321 [This is from the Chronic Pain Conference on Fidonet] When I was hospitalized for my problems (including chronic pain). They gave me morphine shots ever 4 - 6 hours. I rember craving for it & it scared me so much after I got out of the hospital, I stopped getting the shots. THe Morphine worked, but I was like a zombie in another place. Could do nothing constructive, burnt up my chest a few time (laying burning cigarettes on it and didn't feel the pain). Scared me to much to ask for it again. -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!374!7!Ron.Shaw Internet: Ron.Shaw@f7.n374.z1.fidonet.org
