Hi Marina,
I love your name, I have a daughter named Marina. My husband and I adopted 5 teenagers from Russia 7 years ago after our 8 children were all grown up.
I saw Dr Aldrete on the 15th of this month. He told me no one in the United States has been diagnosed with cerebral arachnoiditis following meningitis in over 50 years. I guess we are both very special, you are the only one in Germany and I am the only one with this type of arachnoiditis in America.
I'm glad you told me what Lyrica did to you. Dr Aldrete wants me to start taking it but after your story I think I will try something else.
I stay home, there is no way I could work, I am in too much pain all the time. My brain always feels like it is burning and every time the weather changes my brain swells and that makes me real sick.
My husband has very bad back problems so he can't work either. Our daughter Kelli and her husband James and their 3 children Aleena-3, Ethan-2 and Maya-7 months are moving in with us in a few weeks. We need someone to help us with the house and yard work. James builds homes so he is going to remodel our house, it is over 50 years old. I hope you have a good day today.
