A Word from DocSarah
This web site aims to raise awareness of arachnoiditis by contact with other health professionals in various specialties, improve recognition of the condition, find better ways of managing it and reduce the number of avoidable new cases. We aim to inform people with the condition in the hope of improving their understanding and thus help them manage their lives with arachnoiditis. I do not give individualised medical advice, and I do not promote any specific treatment.

Older.. but not necessarily wiser

Funny how much can happen in a decade. I recently dug up one of my old articles to send to someone. I couldn't believe I wrote it 10 years ago! Where has the time gone??

I can't say I'm any the wiser in 2010 than I was in 2000, but I am happy to say that I am also physically (overall) not significantly worse than I was 10 years ago. Yes, some symptoms have progressed, but so has my ability to cope with them, my emotional resilience is more robust, so arach, is not managing me, I am managing it (most of the time!)

As for the next 10 years... well one thing I have learnt, it's   best taken just as it comes... one day at a time!
