[Guest guest]

You absolutely need to go to the emergency room NOW.. And it is not

possible on this site to ask too many questions..

last weekend my friend and I were stopped at a stop light and was rear ended

from a van going about 35-40 miles a hour and she didnt' slow down at all.

I had my seat belt on but I seem to have been more stiff and sore since

then.. Could it have done more damage from getting hit from someone going

that slow? I have an appt with my phsyiatrist next Thurs.

Thanks for any input.

I agree: that is not slow! Think of a stop sign or even front of a building

taken at 35-40mph!

I had the exact same rear-ending happen to me, but I don't have any hardware or

fusions. My neck pain/stiffness was no worse afterward than before, but I have a

disorder of the neck muscles. (I've used that rear ending story to explain my

baseline neck pain to my doctor, who seems a little more sympathetic now. LOL.)

In my own experience, my " pain complex " doesn't always allow me to know when new

damage has occurred. Sometimes I mistake it for an extra bad day, sometimes it

melds into my existing stuff and goes unnoticed until the next time an X-ray or

other test is done.

There is nothing slow about that. Granted....i was hit by someone at a

redlight....i was in a toyota corolla and this guy was in a ford full size

pickup. he was going about 60 according to witnesses. doc's couldn't believe i

lived. should have snapped my neck. that was in 1978 and the beginning of my

neck/back troubles. only got worse from there. i agree with Tom........ you

need to get to the er NOW especially already having fusions.......they do break!

Run Run Run!!!

I was hit by a car a couple years ago, after back and neck fusions, plus knee

replacements. I waited a couple days, thinking I was just bruised. I sure was

wrong, had a lawsuit going on after all that, and had to have more injections,

physical therapy and lots of time spent at the dr. Like everyone else has

said-run right away to your dr.

+++Hi . You can wear a mask, keep the windows open and use fans to blow

out the area. Also stay the course.

Weight can fluctuate when your body is switching over from running on sugar to

running on good fats.

If you have you ever gained weight before your body will retrace the ups and

downs with it too.

not sure where the ziplocks are being placed. if the outer sponge doesn't

contact your hand there will be no current flow.

hand-sponge-battery-sponge-skin-hand is the circuit. if you place plastic

anywhere in there it will open the circuit and nothing will flow.

i will see if I can get a diagram up on this.

> Here's the situation--When I use the rods, I always have zip lock bags over

the ends I keep in my hands. They work great (mostly used on jawbones, ears and

back of neck). So I don't understand why the dime-sized batteries require wires

connecting them in order to work. Can't I just be sure the opposite poles are

touching the skin? tia pj

[Guest guest]

I found 3v coin batteries and holders on ebay. You have to solder wires onto the holders to go to the sponges. If you use long antenna or speaker wires you can put the battery in a pocket and velcro the sponges on your knees, or wherever you want them, and walk around while zilling. The 3v batteries can even be stacked up in the holder to make 6volts.

Soldering onto the holders is not a big problem if you know how. If you don't know how you could have a tv or radio repair do it for you, or maybe a student in electronics class. You don't want the holder touching the flesh or you will get burns. I use duct tape to cover the battery and holder.

BG designed the God Rods to make it so simple that anyone can build one in about 5 minutes, or less. That is his goal; to get as many people using this remedy as possible. It does, however, have its limitations, and some of his previous designs are handier for certain applications. Check them out in the photos and try any if you are capable. I have about 6 different ones and find uses for almost all of them.

Enjoy,

Hi Liesel,

There are two ways to put up xrays. One, you can go into our " Files " section and

there is a file that explains one way (if you can open the file on your

computer). Another way is to put the photo up over a large picture window, or

while its on the lightbox in the doctors office...and just take a picture of it.

Low tech, but it works.

Looking forward to seeing yours...before and after!

Take Care, Cam

Hi Liesel...

You're first going to have to figure out if you can capture the image, or export

it, and save it as a .jpg. I went to the Osirix web site and found a PDF that

states " Selecting Export under the File menu allows you to export to Quicktime,

jpeg, raw, tiff, DICOM, email and iPhoto. "

Once you have the .jpg, you can follow the directions Cam posted about posting.

Good luck.

hi there

no one in my family has aih that we know of, but many have autoimmune

conditions

ranging from vitiligo, thyroid issues, alpha1 anti trypsin deficiency,

haemochromatosis.. I myself have a handful of ai conditions, fortunately

they don't seem to have much of an impact - it's only that i've had every

test under the sun in the course of my aih that we know about them.

Apparently it is very common to have more than one AI condition and for it

to tend in the family

I was diagnosed yesterday with Trigeminal Neuralgia.

Has anyone else with cervical spinal stenosis and severe

degeneration been diagnosed with this? What I'm wondering

is if since nerves are being pinched in my neck and my spinal

column is being compressed could this also cause

Trigeminal Neuralgia? Doctor is sending me for an MRI.

So now I'm on another medication. yippee

ine

[Guest guest]

Hi ine,

The trigeminal nerve does not come through the cervical spine, but is the 5th

cranial nerve coming directly out of the base of the brain and going to areas of

the face and mouth. I didn't see mention of cervical arthritic degeneration as a

factor, but did see damage to the protective coating (myelin sheath) around the

nerve because of compression by a blood vessel or in some cases by multiple

sclerosis.

There do seem to be several treatments that can be tried - even surgery.

I hope your pain is not too bad. I've heard it can be very severe.

Take care,

Thanks Rochelle... now you have me wondering something else.

I had a cerebellar stroke in Nov 08 and I know the cerebellum

is at the base of the spine.

Thanks for the link too.

What I get is like an electrical shock by my right jaw.

It's the most painful thing I have ever felt and I'm in pain

24/7 with my spinal issues.

The shock feeling lasts about three or four seconds,

which is a long time if you count it and you feel like

someone is holding a live electrical wire to the side of

your face.

Doctor put me on Carbamazepine.

Is your jaw ok ine? Because the jaw will play off the cervical neck

problems. I was talking to a doctor who joined our jaw group, and he was saying

he considers the jaw c-0 and the atlas c-1. thats how close they work together.

My neck will shift and actually shift my whole jaw complex with it. Trimengial

nerve pain OUCH. Mine just is an intense seering. But i have friends who

experience what you described.Its very painful like sciatica in your face.

Vitamin B is shutting off my face pain alot, But it makes me very HYPER. cindy

Hi . My jaw is fine as far as I know.

I don't know if the upcoming MRI will show anything

or not but so far the Carbamazepine seems to be

working. I walk around in terror because I never

know when another electrical shock will hit.

Crazy way to live.

My doctor also told me that when I finally do get

to see a Neurosurgeon he may just send me to

a pain clinic because the cervical degeneration is so

severe.

*sigh*

Oh I understand the terror ine. I go to the chiro all the time because i

have a shifting Atlas(c1)but anyway, even if my neck is ok that moment, I live

in a constant FEAR of it. I'm afraid its going to shift, and it does. But I get

afraid to move! You live in fear of the next time! Fear of moving your body.

When is it going to get you next! It is a bad way to live.

,

Being jerked awake with rapid heart rate is a sign of sleep apnea. It's a common

sleep disorder and it could be related to Lyme, although it's not always related

to Lyme. I was diagnosed by going to a sleep center where I live. Now I use what

is called a CPAP machine, which helps correct the apnea during sleep. Ask your

doctor about that or look up a sleep center in your area.

I don't know about the elevated blood sugar. That could be due to something

else. But if they're not diagnosing you with any type of diabetes, I would just

cut out sugar and see if that helps.
