[Spitfire]

This is for members who have been wondering about why I am not on as much lately. Here is what is going on.

Back in December, I fell while trying to go to the bathroom. I just went down on my left side. Ever since then, I have been losing my balance and all that. At times with light headedness and all that from the medication. I went to the free health clinic place in my area which they only open their doors twice a month. I was put on different medications.

1.Meloxicam for the numbness in my fingers and my legs and feet.

2.Neuronton for the pain.

3.Flexeril as a muscle relaxer.

I found out after having the x-ray done at the free clinic. The bone spurs have grown bigger. It seems it is now pinching the nerves in my spine right now. It is causing me to lose my balance to the left side, and causing the numbness .

At night on certain nights, I wake up that both arms have become dead numbed with hardly any feelings and all that like they both went to sleep like your feet does at times. I had a Cat-scan done as well. Still have not heard back yet which I may have to call the doctor, and the place to get the results going since it seems that I am not getting better even on medication.

So, once the results are in, I may have to go to Little Rock to the UAMS for me to have surgery to removed the bone spurs. If I do not get this done, I may be paralyze in a couple of years now, and I may never be able to do things.

I just wish that the politicians get off their duffs and pass the health care reform so that people like me can get cure with no problems to do stuff again.
