Bad News from the Neurologist

[bakayaro_onna]

My neurologist gave me the results of my lower back x-ray. NOT good news.

My lower vertebrae are pretty much disintegrating and pushing on the nerves there, which is why at any time my back can go out.

I requested a specific PT place and finally found it behind the old Methodist Hospital. She will be looking for the paperwork to come through,

I'm sorry to hear this, although more information is always better than less. I hope PT helps.

Thought I'd ping. I hope you're doing well, Onna....

Better but Worse but Better

I have gained 20 points in my spine and 10 points in my hips while on my daily injections, so my bones are MUCH better!

Lost hearing in my right ear mid-July. Will eventually have to get hearing aids that will bring the sounds from the right to the left ear so I can hear what is happening on my right side. The ear ENT thinks it was a virus attack.

Had deviated septum surgery Oct 1st and had complications and had to go right back in for a second surgery to stop the bleeding.

I can finally breathe for the first time ever. My septum was so bad the doc said WTF when he looked at the CT scans.

Had a lot of old gunk in my sinuses because of the narrow passageway on the worst side.

That's great to hear :D I'm glad they got your nose fixed too ;; that sounds yeah ;;

As for your bones! Stronger bones sound really good... last you told me they were bad so it's good they can be improved... are those like calcium injections??

It is not calcium injections.

This is the medication: https://www.tymlos.com/

I can only be on it for two years or I am at risk for some type of cancer I cannot recall.

After that, the rheumo will put me on something else.
