from joyce--swallow-chiari

February 29, 2012

HI,

I have always had some swallow issue, but lately i seem to suck in small food

particles or liquid and cough because it feels as if it goes to my air passages.

It occurs when i talk and eat but even if i am just breathing and eating.

Also my daughter 23 has been haveing a numb sensation in her spine, we are

making plan to see dr at NY though.

My brother has been hospitalized for virial mengitis and shingles. He is 51. He

was released last week and the next morning he woke up not knowing who or where

he was. He does have 3 cracked vertbrea in his spine and severe osterprosis. He

was sent home with an even higher dose of ocicodone i think it is at 80 mg from

50 mg and with an imbetwween pure dose of it for inbetween pain. He was taken by

ambulance bac to the hosital. He was in kidney and respitory failure. The said

he breathed in vomit in his lungs.

His kidney began to function in few hrs so dilasisis wasnt started. I went to

see him on sat in fresno hospital, and they said his respitory numbers werent

low enough to breath on his own yet so they werent going to try yet. I spent hrs

with him taking to him and the next mornning i got a call he pulled out the tube

and was breathing on his own. It took two more days and this morning he is

talking but very week. I told some medical staff about my familyl history

because most of my family is very non supportaive. My brother did listen and his

wife. I dont really know if he possible has a chiari but he did have mri in the

hospital. He cannot have kids as testrone levels are to low.

anyone can pray for my family

thanks,

joyce ca
