:jANE, FOR PAIN TRY ACCUPUNCTURE:AS TO THE NATURE OF YOUR ILLNESS MAYBE ITS CHIARI MALFORMATION OR POTS.CHIARI DOES NOT ALWAYS HAVE TO HAVE TYPICAL SIGNS /MALFORMED SKULL AND HERNIATED CER, TONSILS.FOR MORE INFO. E-MAIL ME AT roostersg@aol.com or check out www.asap4sm.com good luck ron I had a c56 fusion 9 months ago,now with loose hardware and a malunion. emg's are positive again for c6 radiculopathy both arms. lots of neck pain,hand and arm weakness and difficulty with balance. 3 months ago I developed spasticity in upper and lower limbs and hypereflexia,as well as urinary bladder incontinence. I also started to have much difficulty with my short term memory. got lost going to places I had been to many times, phone numbers,names,did not recognize my own kitchen for a few moments. I am easily lost and confused if there is too much sensory input as in driving or at a shopping center. My neurologist started me on zanaflex for the spasticity,bladder ,and memory problems and it has really helped me.anyone else out there have similar memory problems? I really can tell the difference when I miss a dose of zanaflex, thought I was going crazy. email me any time
