| Message | Have been reading your post and must say that I am impressed with your will. I was diagnosed with a small syrnx in my spine about 10 years ago..and tho, it was suggested to me at that time by Neurologist at the University of Alabama Hospital, to have a "shunt" put in...I chose not to have the procedure done. Presently, I have a lot of symptons including mylepathy. Losing use of pinkie and ring fingers on both hands..speech problems...numbness in legs and feet. Memory problems...and mobility issues. Latest MRI showed Syringomyelea with Mylepathy. My appt. with Dr. Naguzewski (Neurosurgeon @ Gordon Hospital, is on March 20th. I am very nervous..scared and have a lot of questions. Very nice to actually be able to converse with someone who is experiencing some of the same issues. Hope you get some relief with your pain.  |

| Message | Hey! I'm an 18 year old student from Sussex in the UK and I have been suffering from SM all my life and only just got diagnosed -- about three months ago. Throughout my life my symptoms have gradually appeared, causing me horrible nerve pain and I've been suffering from paralysis in my LH side for nearly two years now. And now I have to have the surgery - it's fair to say that I'm 'cacking' myself! My biggest struggle is having to reassure people that i'm not 'faking' my symptoms and that they are REAL. SM is such a horrible condition to have, but reading blogs like yours, has proven a sort of comfort - knowing that I'm not alone and that there are people who understand... having a condition like this, only makes us stronger. Thankyou for writing this. X  |

| Message | I was diagnosed with SM in May 2011, had surgery in June to release a tethered cord and had a shunt placed in the syrnix...my neurosurgeon was emphatic that these measures were to prevent further damage..I had difficulty sitting before the surgery,...no problem now. Had my knees replaced Oct/Dec respectively and naively thought I would be a ready to conquer the world,,,WRONG..,,I'm just starting to deal with the permanent damage and depression,.,,.UGH,.,,and pain when I do too much which is really not much at all...side note.,I'm a Chicago native..class of 1971.... God bless you,,,,,  |

I just started a blog and also trying to market my artwork. We will see how this goes!  Take care now, Jenny |
