actually I would recommend all of Itches and Twitches as it is a hotch potch of queries from the helpline which I asked the Doc to do.

Right at the end under miscellaneous.
Will keep looking there is something at the back of my mind and it has to do with the Doc's dog and advice from the vet. It's relevant because vets protect their animals more than doctors protect their patients!!
Yes I live with arachnoiditis and cope quite well most days. Of course I have an altered lifestyle but my drive is for information.
I often ask myself if I knew then what I know now would I have made different decisions?
Perhaps not in the early days as I was so sure I could get back to a pain free life again, I just hadn't found the right doctor yet. How naive and trusting was that.
This worm turned when they started to suggest this was all in my mind. Well they had wrecked the body but they weren't going to do that to my mind.
I just needed more information so I joined the committee of a support group I had beloged to for some while. I only meant to stay 3 months but stayed over 7 years. That's when I met the Doc on the helpline looking for information.WoW just what I needed and the rest is history. DocSarah went out and started to fill in the gaps of information
I left that group over two years ago now and concentrated on the local support group here in Liverpool and Knowsley. It's much easier to get grants locally than nationally.
We have a library and self help books/tapes/CD's/DVD's and I will be doing book reviews on the website soon. I have got lots more planned but it's time fitting everything in as like you I can't sit for long.
Keep asking the questions but please understand I am not medically qualified so can't diagnose. If the Doc doesn't have the answer, it doesn't exist!
Bye for now
Kim
