So typical
Just been peeking at mss Limbo board and there is a post titled "this is rediculous" exactly the kind of situation I'm on about, clear tests, symptoms but no diagnosis, she or he is now cross and stressed, a big no no as far as I am concerned, as stress just adds to the mess. These people need some answers, there is loads of them, left hanging on, clear tests if I was in charge, I would definitely get her Atlas checked, but I know many people are very sceptic about Chiropractors and not everyone can afford to go privately, I couldnt, but I couldnt afford not to. Thats why they should be available through the NHS, they could help with no end of problems, back ache, hip problems, the knowledge they have as to regards the human body is so useful, I just cant believe that they have been excluded, its just madness.
Pain in the neck
As I have been very aware as to what happens to my body, I will try to explain, I am sure much of my neck pain emulated from a tension in my upper right, but I was also aware that the discomfort in my neck was also connected to my lower back where again I had pain, I also had discomfort/pain in my upper, upper part of my right arm and could not put it in the positions that I can do now without pain/discomfort. My knee has also hurt, but now does not, and if I knocked my right knee, by landing on it too hard my right leg would violently spasm and quite painful too, but would lock tight for a while but that has only stopped in the last few days. So many things used to happen I cant quite remember all of them, but when I do I will note them as all incredibly relevant. The tension in my upper back caused my leg to judder/tremor I know this as when raised my arm to the side horizontally it would stop. Also I would have a tightness in my right leg when I wanted a wee, and as soon as I started the was a release of feeling, now I believe that had something to do with the bladder meridian. So the bladder meridian, pressure points, (which some are too in the lower back area) and misaligned Atlas, wow its no wonder I had problems
Also putting your sox on, its not about just raising foot to hand, its about being flexible in your upper back to be able put hand to foot. It used to take me 1/2hr to get my shoes on, it was such a difficult thing to do. today my left is ok, right is a bit tricky, but now takes me 5 mins to get my shoes on, and today have got sox on too, now thats progress.

no lower back pain
I woke several times in the night laying heavy on my left hip which was uncomfortable, but the surprising thing was that I could easily shift position so I could include laying on my whole thigh which took the pressure off. Also my lower back pain has gone, my right hip when I crawl is stiff and uncomfortable though but hey! I can live with that one at the mo. my right leg is stiff but I shall continue massaging with the deep tissue massager today to try and release it a little, but again so far so good. I havent tried to straighten my right leg as still probably tight and sore and dont want to cause it uneccessary damage. I still have clickiness in my neck and upper back but no pain just an achey right hip at mo.
appreciate life
Its funny because of what I have been through, makes me appreciate and respect life much more, all life, I watched the antics of an ant, busy going about his business, I like the way they always pick up a fallen comrade and take him back to camp. I watched a snail after it had rained, how its antennas popped in and out when you gently touched them. Sad though it sounds these things facinated me, probably because I couldnt do much else than to watch them. I shall never kill an ant regardless, as he has a very busy role in an ants day, to distroy all that effort would be rude of me. Dont get me wrong I know I cant go on in life never killing a creature again, but I wont go out of my way to do it deliberately. Over these last few years I have learnt so much and I have spent so very very long seeing nothing just experiencing a catch 22 of the psychological effecting the physical, the physical effecting the psychological an endless loop, I'm so glad that I managed to get off that particular round about. It was a bit like being buried alive, only being buried alive you air runs out and you are eventually put out of your misery. I couldnt see beyond ms/mess it just wouldnt let me, but today I see and see it all.
Upright puzzle
My fundamental problem in standing is my weight doesnt yet go down through my body to the floor, Tension in my back prevents me from rolling my shoulders up round and down, and the tightness in my right calf muscle, actually feels as if it is ripping and does hurt when I try to straighten leg, but as tension is released in other parts of my body, this will rectify. I know this as the other day I wway laying quite relaxed and my leg immediately straightened no pain, this happening took me aback as wasnt expected, unfortunately once I was consciously aware of it, it didnt happen again and reverted back to as it was, it was like I was given a taster of how good it will be. I take it my body is like an upright puzzle and one day will just all fit into place, then no problem
The placebo effect
When I was first diagnosed I was offered Rebif and I did inject for a while, but as I didnt stick to the routine and kept missing injections, I dont think that I had total faith in it, I then decided, as I was not using it correctly, I decided to stop.
Since knowing my diagnosis of Remitting relapsing, I never went into full remission, I have had ongoing bladder and balance issues, I doubt anyone fully remits, if there are alternative underlying issues. Some may look ok on the outside, but inside they are twisting.
I think DMDs and LDN have a placebo effect, therefore any statistics of how much they reduce episodes, is a false account, theres no possible way of knowing.
And I imagine that a very high percentage of people inevitably become wheelchair bound, because misalignment of the bodys structure make it impossible to stand. Even walking with a stick for me was all wrong, I couldnt do that, as I had no walking rythm, I was wonky.
I have a tai chi and yogalates video that I purchased three years ago, unopened as it is futile to excercise when wonky, I'll wait til I am straight.
