Yep, good example of Socialized Med. I know Shannon MacLeod he’s been through H. and back. Most don’t get past Stage 2 AA. Even a Epi for having a baby or Cortisone shots can cause this condition, Shannon’s was a Back surgery gone wrong. He’s dying in Stage 4, he’s not 50 yet. He’s being Tortured, NO Doctor will take him. Under Pain medicated.
He is a Proud Scot Clan McLeod-Harris. While it might be his wish to take his daughter to Scotland, he won’t LIVE that long nor could he make the trip in the condition he’s in.

Here is what the article doesn’t say or he tells adhesive arachnoiditis. It is without doubt in my mind one of the worst diseases imaginable.
I’m quite serious when I say
“It feels like having your back beaten on by clubs,up & down your spine” your ribs feel broken.
Put it this way... If someone brings a hammer down on your hand,that’s periphery nerve impulses. Those impulses are carried to the spinal cord & then the brain.
My spinal cord has been hit with a hammer. That should make the problem very vivid. The entire nervous system is damaged. It’s not a part or a section, its everything. My knees are shot now. There are things that nobody tells you because they don’t know much about it. I’m in the dark & I don’t know what’s next. It makes for Stratospheric anxiety levels. Who wouldn’t be like that when you don’t have a clue whats next. The pain is excruciating & nobody gives a shit. I could die on the floor in the er waiting room & no big deal. Your reduced to a drug seeking actor. Just a junky. The horrific things that have been done to me and said to me are beyond reprehensible, its criminal behavior & it’s acceptable now. Live in my body for an hour & it would litteraly do damage to your mind.
The complications are numerous & severe.
Tinnitus.
Blurred vision.
Rotted teeth.
Csf bleeding .
Twitches,flinching & tremors.
Leg drop & leg drag.
Stomach pain.
Neck pain.
Burning feet.
Insomnia & fatigue.
Stumbles & falls.
Headaches & migrains.
Reduced mobility & that fucking cain!
autonomic dysfunction.
Mood swings & deep depression. There’s more but you get the picture. It’s bad & getting worse.

Here is where I am. I’m isolated, racked with pain, I’m losing more functionality as the day’s pass. I’ve nothing to look forward to & I can’t find tomorrow. There is no peace, there never was really.

The loss of hope weighs heavily upon me & has made me turn around to look at what was. That’s no treatment either. I could drop dead at any time & that’s the nature of this disease. So,what are my options? Try to fight through another five years of this or do I end the suffering now? We all die & I’ve lived in the shadow of death for most of my life, I know it very well. As you’ve pointed out as none other, it’s crushing pain & I’m not going much further. I’ll fight through June & then I’ll decide what I’m to do. In my typical fashion. It will be an extremely violent end to life. In a hundred years, who will know my name?

I said a very long time ago the, “Not me, don’t care” mentality is ignorant beyond belief. The damage can’t be seen so, it’s not real.

My birthday in June 16th. It’s my 50th & last. If you want to help, ask anyone to Put what they can in an account.

None owe anything. None are to be shamed to do what they can’t afford. I’ve not, nor will I ever beg.

I want to bring my daughter here to this event. I want to take her the Highlands to get her very own clan badge, arm band & pin. She can wear her pin on her wedding dress & know I’ll be with her.
