Hi to anyone out there!

Unfortunately, this forum looks like it's inactive.

My name's Di and I'm in Qld, Australia.
I'm 52 and married to a wonderful supportive, patient and loving man. ♥

I've only just learnt that I have Arachnoiditis from my Neurologist last week.
It was evident on my last MRI which was 12 months ago, so I'm a bit peeved it took so long to inform me.

The reason I've been given is; I haemorrhage during my L5-S1 discectomy surgery 3 years ago which became the underlying contributing factor and reason for my current condition.

I'm trying to research and talk with like minded people to get a better understanding of this condition/disease.
To say I'm confused, frustrated and also terrified would be an understatement atm.

It looks as though I'm going to have a 5 day Ketamine Infusion in January.

Anyway... I've put myself out there to see what support there is on the net and to educate myself.

Thanks for listening.
Di ♥

Hi di, Thank you for posting although you found no one @ home! Check your OLD MRI reports & see when it first said " clumped nerve roots". That is arachnoiditis. Then you will know if it happened as they said or they operated on you with AA ! Nice to meet you di. If you will come to this site I will tell you everything that I have learned from researching this for 12 to 16 hours a day since June. Thank you. I dont know this site very well but will look for you! Gmak

Hi di, i'd be really keen to hear how you get n at your ketamine infusion. I read about it being very good for CRPS so hopefully it can do similar to Arach.

Hi Kev,

I'm not due to have my consultation until 9th January. I've been a bit freaked out about some things I've read and been told so I have heap of questions for the specialist before I give him the nod to go ahead.

I'll certainly keep this thread posted for you.

Cheers,
Di ♥

Hi di, kev & all, wrote long post, acc pushed cancel! Di, i would really like it if you would post all about ketamine imfusion. ALL that you know & all the benefits, procedure, purpose? That would be so great for me as iive in a country where drs can go 30 years & not tell a patient!! Amd currently, all they say is spinal stim, morphine pump with NO acknowledgement that this EVEN truly exists! Family & friends that seem so concerned & pushed me all those uninformed years to find out cause & now wont watch a 50 second video. When i describe aa i see their eyes glaze over, bored out of gourd. Mom & Bf even went so far to say that i get worse after being on a forum, or after getting & learning about aa! And, this is the kicker, that b/c of " you get what you say" belief, that THEY get more physically ill after i have obtained info & share a millisecond with them, & have asked me not to talk about it!!!!!! it was easier for all of them to throw out a random "Im sorry" than to press their brain to comment or understand a concept that involves my life in every way!! It makes THEM physically sicker b/c I read about aa!! And want their interest!! Even my husb & grown children! Brother watched video as a token interest in whats wrong with me!! FRUSTRATING! Sorry for the rant. But, b/c of my physical limitations @ times lately( like i rode in car 5 hrs) family has said i dont want you to go to ( fill in blank) b/c of you will be too much trouble, we will have to leave early if you START hurting! When ive been hurting straight thru for 30 years!
