Post a comment Living With Pain
Hi Everyone. I’m new to this wonderful site. Received an email from Vitali and have been encouraged and comforted to meet more folks and their loved ones trying to make a life IN SPITE of chronic pain.
I read Jana’s entries about her husbands experiences with Myelograms. I had my first AND LAST… in Oct.’03. It was terribly painful. I begged the doctor for even a little versed and he wouldn’t budge. WHY?!! The worst part was that the test only confirmed what we already knew WITHOUT the test!
Allow me to bore you for a moment, with a bit of MY STORY:
I was born with Spina Bifida which is a neuro-tube birth defect. But I was quite fortunate as a child and experienced much less complications than most children born with this. I walked, ran, attended school and was involved in everything from horseback riding to dirtbikes! I met the love of my life at the tender age of 16 and we were married. ANd then when I was 19, I defied the doctor’s predictions and had the first of our 3 daughters.
