Re: Re: Pinched nerve spine and inflammation:Tony

[Guest guest]

This arm flapping thing rings another bell. My left hand will shake uncontrollably if I try to hold something away from body in a certain place. Most noticeably when I'm reading a book. I wonder if it's some kind of nerve pressure? It's not something I feel as any kind of pinching, just may hand shakes for no reason, and it freaks me out! If you can get someone to do cultures and sensitivities on your nose swab, it would be a start in knowing which antibiotics might work for you. You have to insist they do not throw out any "normal flora" like staph aureus or staph epi. If you can get someone to do that you'll have a starting point. My bone biopsies and my nose cultures had the same organisms and the same abx resistances and the same antibiotic sensitivities. And I responded favorably to the abx that my organisms were sensitive to. If you can't get anyone to culture you, then it's a matter of guess work and

therapeutic trials with the drugs. Hopefully you've got a doctor who will help? If not, keep looking. As for the shoulder pain. You may need to have some bone spurs removed. I'm told I do. And so far, I just haven't wanted to go under the knife, considering my luck with all procedures and how sick I usually am afterwards. But it may be necessary because I'm quite certain that a lot of my problem is due to the bone spurs having decreased the amount of space in the shoulder and are pressing on nerves when I try to raise them. It sounds like you are even worse than me and surgey may be necessary. I don't know about the growth on your tail bone, but I'd go back to the doc and say look, dammit! You may not know what's going on, but it's causing me PAIN! and I need to find someone who CAN figure out what's going on. Now who are you going to send me to????? You can't give up with

these symptoms. Keep looking until someone will get over themselves and help you. penny p.s. I had read that sometimes these shoulder/rotator cuff things resolve on their own. I don't know if the spurs dissolve (I've heard they can, but don't know how) or what. But I do know my shoulder unfroze itself, so I suppose improvement is possible. irishdrought1955 <irishdrought1955@...> wrote: > >> > I just wondered about this discussion.> > When I first got sick in 1987 the first real bad feeling was flu > > like achy and all over weakness.> > > > A few months later I could not stay awake.

Some people at the salt/C site are saying that the protocol may be responsible for removing calcifications from the bacterial cell walls and are reporting a lessening of body pain.Recuperation is also mostly salt and those people also report a relief of body pain. Since our bone spurs are calcifications, it might not be too much of a stretch to think that salt and or c might also be effective against the spurs. Something to consider? Plus, we know the salt will most likely help increase our blood volume and blood flow, which is a good thing when fighting deeply entrenched infection (eg. osteomyelitis). pennyirishdrought1955 <irishdrought1955@...> wrote: > >> > I just wondered about this discussion.> > When I first got sick in 1987 the first real bad feeling was flu > > like achy and all over weakness.> > > > A few months later I could not stay awake.
