Title: 219 DAYS OF FREEDOM
Post by RE on Dec 8^th, 2003, 10:14pm

AFTER 11 YEARS OF NIGHTLY ATTACKS, I BEGAN TO HAVE CHRONIC CLUSTERS,EVERY TWO HOURS, IN JANUARY. I HAD ANOTHER MRI , THIS ONE TO INCLUDE MY NECK,I HAD RUPTURED C4 C5 AND MY SPINAL CORD WAS COMPROMISED 50%. ONE SURGEON LAUGHED AND SAID NO WAY WOULD SURGERY ON THE DISC HELP WITH THE CLUSTERS. ANOTHER SURGEON,WHILE RESERVED THOUGHT IT MAY HELP.
I WENT TO THE ELDERS OF MY CHURCH FOR PRAYER AND LAYING OF HANDS
HAD THE SURGERY TO FUSE C4 AND C5
BEGAN TREATMENT ON ZONOGRAN
AFTER SUFFERING FOR 11 YEARS, GOING THRU THREE NEUROLOGIST ,PRAISE GOD,I HAVE NOT HAD ONE SINGLE CLUSTER IN 219 DAYS. I CAN SLEEP ALL NIGHT,I CAN TAKE NAPS DURING THE DAY IT HAS BEEN SUCH FREEDOM.THE NEUROLOGIST GAVE ME NO HOPE, NONE,THEY SAID THE SURGERY WOULD NOT HELP,AND THEY HAD TRIED ALL THE MEDS THAT THEY KNEW TO WORK IN PREVENTION OF CLUSTERS.
PLEASE DO NOT GIVE UP AND DO NOT LET THE DOCTORS MAKE ALL THE DECISIONS.
