oops, hello, im new here!!

[Guest guest]

Hi all, i got this email asking me to tell more about myself... sorry

about that, i was so darn excited to finally start getting some

answers and finding out (possibly) why i am having so many problems...

I live in sville WA, (30 miles north of SEattle)... i have 3

children, almost 5, 9, and 14. I am married and work in law

enforcement..(snohomish county sheriffs office).. i love gardening

and for the last 2 years i have been unable to do much of that.. i

also paint, and cant do a lot of that either.. i cant stand, sit, or

lay down or stay in any position for too long.. I have recurring

back pain, low, high, middle ...numbness down my legs and arms..

on my first surgery in 84 they took out a rib and put in " cables and

pins " ...the second surgery in 85/86 they had to fix the cables and

screws because i broke them.. they added a cable and took out part of

my hip.. i have also had a hysterectomy, gallbladder removed,

corective foot(club) surgery, pylarxtanosis, tubal, exploratory

surgery..

hey i have the best scars!! i wear a patch for pain control and my

latest dr. thinks that if they " wean " me off the patch and do

physical therapy i will get better... i dont think so... since i

started doing my own research i am coming to a very different

conclusion....
