Been in so much pain lately that my eyes just constantly leak tears and I can't sleep at night. I'm getting to the point where I'm almost willing to accept a baclofen pump to deliver muscle relaxers directly into my spine if it would help.

Well damn, hey y’all.
I am breathing and my heart is pumping.
I did not fall off the face of the earth.
Yet.
Sorry for the hiatus, I’ve had a lot going on to the point I let my updates slip through my fingers.
Majority of it was was a bad bout of depression, which hasn’t gone away but I’m getting better at pushing through.
A lot has happened in the 3 week hiatus; pulling teeth to get my appointment to see my neurologist and get an appointment to get new AFOs. Pulling teeth to get my genetics appointment with UCSF and the Neurologist/ Rehab doctor at UCSF.
Thankfully, I saw my neurologist earlier today. He got the letter to write the referral for my new AFOs, and he gave me a new prescription for baclofen to try again for my spasticity. Also I applied for some parking placards.
My genetic appointment is in June, via Zoom. Apparently I have to be in California for that which makes 0 sense.
And I see the Rehab doc, Dr. Abrams, March 7 at one o’clock.
I’m going to try some other non med options that are said to help spasticity. If I can manage my spasticity more naturally, I’d definitely want to go that route instead of the meds.
These include:
1. Workouts
2. Stretching
3. A vibration platform
These things I’ve already been doing regularly.
The other options include:
4. Cherry juice
5. Chamomile tea
6. Chamomile essential oil to rub into the spastic area
7. Blueberry smoothies
8. Bananas
9. Almonds
10. Yoga/ Pilates
11. Magnesium
Honestly, I’m 1000% overwhelmed.
So, my spasticity is the next goal on my list that I am working to take care of. Hopefully, once I can get a better handle on it, I’ll be able to start driving again and ditch my walker officially.
Until next time,

Randomly I've forgotten all about tumblr, just happened across it this evening and spotted that it's been six years since I last wrote anything.
A lot has happened in six years.
I got an extension built to the house, I turned the dining room into a bedroom, got a downstairs washroom, I got a new kitchen, and got divorced. It turns out the building work is really stressful, that lockdown was incredibly stressful, and the man I married decided to move in with a couple of homosexuals that he made friends with during lockdown. Stress barely begins to cover it. We are now divorced, but the financial settlement hasn't been finalised so I'm living alone in the house (with my dog) paying for the mortgage on my own, hoping that sorting out the finances isn't going to take too long because I'm gonna need to sell the house and find myself a bungalow somewhere.
The last four years have been hellish, that short paragraph doesn't even get close to the nightmare. But hey Ho, Life goes on.
MS has really done its worst, so I'm definitely tetraplegic with only my right forearm and hand able to move. My thumb doesn't really do the opposing thing that makes human hands so useful, and it's really only my index finger I can move so I find myself using voice control on the iPad and phone more and more. I have a catheter that I really don't like because it's bloody painful, and I'm hoping that I'll be able to have a suprapubic catheter fitted quite soon. I've got an appointment with the consultant urologist coming up in a few weeks. I've also got a pain pump, which is under the skin of my abdomen with a very pretty scar, and then a little pipe go all the way round to my spine so that I get baclofen pumped directly at my spinal cord. It works a treat, in fairness, and uses a damned site less baclofen than the oral medication and as I've stopped using antidepressants I really do feel a little bit more alive and less lethargic.
And just like that, in one paragraph I've summarised the last six years. I think the difficulty with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis is knowing what the future holds, not from a prognosis perspective, but from a "what the hell happens next" perspective. What will happen when my right hand becomes as useless as my left? How will I get around? Do I need a live-in carer? Do I need sheltered accommodation? Do I just stay in my bed 24/7? Actually finding out what questions I should be asking and to whom is not easy. The MS Society seems to avoid saying much about Advanced MS, presumably so it's not scare the shit out of people who have just been diagnosed and want to try and understand what the future might look like, but it really doesn't help people like me because I'm shit scared of not knowing what the hell is going to happen.
I'll be back soon…

Why? I have a stethoscope
Why? I Have a stethoscope, recently my healthcare. attendant noticed that I had a  purplestethoscope on top of my desk, and when I explained the reasoning behind why? It was there she understood, and that reason is that between 2008 and 2009, I had health issues that basically Forced me to take a gap year to focus on my health instead of going right into College after high school, which was my original plan however I just before I graduated hi school I was diagnosed with A chronic pain condition called chronic regional pain syndrome or CRPS this was a result of baclofen pump revisions which affect my nerves, however, the doctors could not figure out why? I was in so much pain. This is a rare condition, and my doctors had not heard of CRPS before. It wasn’t until I was referred to a pain specialist that I received the diagnosis. This put a monkey wrench in my College plans because it would take a year for me to get on the right medication regimen two help with the pain symptoms. Which was unfortunate, so I needed a way to keep my eye on the prize, which was to eventually get into College, and so it was during a hospital stay during this challenging Time I said I needed a way to remind myself that I was going to get through this and go to school to become A psychologist and since there’s no tangible object four psychology or at least none that I could think of at the Time and because I knew I wanted to work in a hospital specifically children’s Hospital as a psychologist I knew that a stethoscope would be a good object to inspire me to keep going through the difficult time and College will be waiting after you get through this rough patch. Today I am in a master's program in rehabilitation counseling. Had it not been for a good support system and the stethoscope as the reminder that I needed to keep going I’m not sure I would’ve made it or if I did it would’ve been difficult for me to stay motivated

What It’s Like When Your Medical PTSD Becomes Reality
I wish I were making this up.
I wrote previously about my medical PTSD, crippling flashbacks, and other symptoms.  Shockingly, it resonated with hundreds, if not thousands, of people who said that although their physical diagnoses were different, the mental scars of post-traumatic stress disorder that remained were a common thread.  I struggled with right along with the strangers who read my words, and prepared my body and mind for one of the scariest surgeries I've ever had: my second baclofen pump placement for secondary dystonia associated with cerebral palsy.  The surgery, one that works well for the vast majority of people, appeared a success.  I responded well to the intrathecal therapy, and after close monitoring and a week in the hospital, I was sent home. 
Mentally, however, I was in a different place entirely.  Throughout my hospital stay and my time at home during recovery, I was in a dissociative state.  Moreover, I couldn’t look down at my lower left abdomen where the hockey puck shaped internal drug pump lay.  As a child, it stuck out  of my skin quite significantly, leaving me in fear of myself.   When I went on to overdose, there was a very real and palpable fear among not just myself, but my family and doctors, that it would kill me.  This impacted me so deeply that I was working through exposure therapy to be able to look at the second pump, still sticking out of my skin, with my therapist—even if only for a few short seconds. 
Eight days after my discharge from the hospital, my worst fears became reality.
"Everything is fine; don't panic," I told myself, pushing away racing thoughts as nothing more than anxiety while my legs visibly spasmed in my bathtub. I have an incredibly high threshold for pain and spells that make my body contort for hours with even the slightest of movements were a common occurrence prior to surgery.  Despite the fact that this surgery was done to prevent this type of pain from occurring, I thought this spell would pass, like all the ones before it.
Needless to say, that's not what happened.
After an hour of agony and dystonic movements so severe it began to physically interfere with the ability of others to care for me, I broke down and called my hospital, barely able to get words out due to the sheer amount of pain my body was in.  Speaking to the nurse that handles urgent patient needs, I told her that I had just been discharged from the hospital for pump placement the week before, in addition to the unbearable pain that was getting progressively worse.  
"You don't sound good," she said.  "I'm transferring you to the doctor."
My heart dropped.   I held onto a sliver of hope and said a prayer.
When he answered, he told me to take my oral baclofen, and if I didn't see improvement in two hours, to come into the ER.  I took my oral medication while a friend continued to pray for me.  
An hour later, I was delirious; I blacked out in the car while my mother drove.  When I got to the hospital, my mom proceeded to drive my power wheelchair through the emergency room, while I moaned, rocking back and forth.  
Then, just like when I was a child and overdosing from the device, I fell into a coma.  I woke up, but the days that followed were a mix of delirium, pain, multiple emergency surgeries, and darkness.  
As it turns out, a spinal fluid leak--a complication from surgery that we tried to prevent by carefully monitoring my incisions for the previous two weeks, combined with E. coli bacteria--caused the pump, and my central nervous system, to become infected with E. coli bacterial meningitis.  It's an infectious disease affecting the brain and spinal cord that can kill very quickly from the onset of symptoms.
Two weeks later, I was out of the ICU, but very, very weak, bed bound, and receiving daily IV antibiotics through my jugular vein.  My PM&R physician came into my room on rounds, profusely offering her sympathies.  "When I saw what happened," she said, softly, "My heart dropped into my stomach, because that's an infection that spreads fast.  I don't know what your religious beliefs are..."
She trailed off.
To say my medical-induced PTSD has at times been overwhelming since this occurred four months ago is a massive understatement.  One of the emergency surgeries was to remove the baclofen pump.  I am now faced with the decision to have a third placed due to my pain from secondary dystonia and spasticity getting progressively worse; pain that can leave me incapacitated and that is triggered from speaking, swallowing, or even slightly contracting nearly any muscle.
Despite the fact that this is a planned two week admission to address a potential spinal fluid leak before it becomes infection, the scars--physical and mental--remain.  More so than ever before, my brain views pumps as ticking time bombs, and my body remembers, too.  The worst part about medical PTSD, for me, is the legitimate threat of past traumas reoccurring, over and over.  Because my body and treatments are viewed by my brain as a threat, my traumas haunt my past, present, and even my future.  However unlikely I am to have life-threatening complications from my next placement, my mind is always on alert, prepared to fight.
It is my ultimate wish for this type of PTSD to be more closely studied and taken seriously among researchers (I myself did a project on this as apart of my undergrad social work program).  I believe this type of trauma is far more common and impactful than we currently know, among children and adults alike.  All individuals who have these traumas deserve to have their fears validated, and treatment readily available.  I’ll close once again with these final words.
If you’re experiencing these things, know this:
You’re real.
You’re valid.
I see you.

Hi! I love all your posts about Shannon. I was wondering, when she talks about all the research she did about CP and different treatments, do you think all those treatments were necessary treatments? I don't know a lot about CP in particular but I know for some disabilities there are treatments that ultimately do more harm than good but that parents of disabled kids think are "cures" (like cochlear implants or autism "treatment" that's basically just abusing the kid whenever they exhibit autistic traits)
are there treatments like that for CP? shannon clearly viewed Christopher's CP as something wrong with him that needed to be fixed, so I don't think it's outside the realm of possibility that she would've been looking for some kind of "cure" for it but idk
This is such a great question! Some things parents are encouraged to try in an effort to make their kids "better" are: - Cochlear implants if their child's CP contributed to a severe loss of hearing - Surgery to repair a partial or complete dislocation of the hip, known as a femoral osteotomy. It's a necessary step to maintain as much balance as we can, but do yourself a favor and google "spica casts" to see what what we're working with for about 12 weeks. (And in my case, I went through it somewhere between 4-6 different times because my pelvis was never *quite* right.) - Muscle lengthening is exactly what it sounds like: surgeons cut and lengthen muscles, typically the ones located in the arms to relieve tightness in the hands and fingers. This type of procedure is supposed to make it easier for a child with cerebral palsy to use their hands for things like grasping objects, writing, using scissors, etc. - Tendon lengthening is similar to muscle lengthening, except the focus is on the tissue that connects a particular muscle to a bone. This procedure is usually performed in an attempt to improve a child's ability to walk and/or sit upright. - Arthrodesis is known as an aggressive form of surgery that is encouraged when a child is experiencing severe spasticity that hinders their mobility. Bones in a particular area of the body (typically ankles and/or feet) are permanently fused together, immobilizing the joint for good. - Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) is a surgical procedure that aims to improve muscle spasticity in kids with CP by cutting nerves in the spine responsible for muscle tightness/stiffness. The surgeon must figure out which nerves are causing the biggest issues, so... they better get it right! - Baclofen pumps are circular machines (kinda shaped like hockey pucks) placed directly under the skin on one side of the abdomen. The purpose is to deliver baclofen, a muscle relaxer used to alleviate spasticity, to the spine: the place where it works the most effectively. Against my better judgement, I agreed to this procedure when I was around 18 or 19, and, uh...it was hell. Besides the look of it - there is literally a foreign object visible inside of you when your abdomen is showing, great for my self-esteem! - my body (for whatever reason) could not handle the medication. I ended up in the ER multiple times with headaches, nausea, v*mitting, and muscle weakness before it was determined I was dealing with what they call "baclofen toxicity", which means my body was rejecting the procedure because it was too... strong, to put it simply. My original surgeon didn’t want to remove the pump because he couldn’t believe it failed! 😱 I had to seek help from one of his colleagues instead. Now I've got a permanent reminder (the scar) of one of the dumbest decisions I ever allowed myself to be talked into! 🙃 - Stem cell therapy to alleviate symptoms of CP has been in the works for years. We're not quite there yet, but it's gaining more and more traction.

Dyskinetic Cerebral Palsy
Dyskinetic cerebral palsy is a movement disorder which affect the child. It is caused by the damage to the basal ganglia portion of the brain, which carries the body's message for coordinating and controlling movements. It results in involuntary movements. Though it is not commons, the child can have this issue. When basal ganglia is damaged, the voluntary movement will be significantly affected, resulting in abnormal activities. However, cerebral palsy diagnosis at the right time will help start the treatment.
Symptoms of dyskinetic cerebral palsy
The significant symptoms that indicate the disorder includes athetosis, dystonia, and Chorea. Besides each of them come with their symptoms. Here are the details.
1.                 Dystonia
There are involuntary muscle contractions marked with slow and twisting movements during this disorder that get worse with time. The other symptoms here include
• Abnormal posture • Moments transitioning from slow to fast and rapid • Involuntary movements putting stress on the kid
The problem can affect all the parts of the body. However, it can be localized. Physiotherapy during this order can help suppress involuntary movements.
2.                 Athetosis
The disorder can be identified with rhythmic and twitching movements. The symptoms are generally not visible while resting and get worse when the child moves or became anxious. Some of the common indications include
• Fluctuating muscle tones • Difficulty in eating and drinking • Involuntary movements disappearing when the child sleeps
3.                 Chorea
The characteristic herein is marked by involuntary and irregular movements. Besides, the action is repetitive and can affect multiple body parts. It can result in further difficulties like an issue with drinking, chewing, and speech.
Get the cerebral palsy treatment
CP child physiotherapy is one of the most effective treatments advised to control the symptoms. Physical therapy must be initiated as soon as possible to ensure that he when the child reaches school age. The treatment can either be incorporated into the daily schedule at school or at a specialized doctor's clinic.
As the kid will face problems with communication, speech therapy can also be accompanied. It will help the child to learn and communicate better. Besides, medication can also be prescribed. This is because involuntary muscle movements are the primary concern during the disorder. Medicines will help control the muscle spasms and offer pain relief.
If the oral medications do not show any result, then the treatment will include a baclofen pump where a doctor will implant a small pump in the abdominal wall of the kid. It will disperse baclofen to the central nervous system. In a severe case, the doctor might recommend surgery for correcting limb deformities. However, it is meant only for those kids who experience pain while moving or walking.
Visit the right centre
If your kid is experiencing pain and discomfort from the disorder, you must visit a good center. Trishla Foundation is the one you can rely on for help. The professional staff there have the skills to customize the plan of the kid to offer relief in a short time. So for sure, the assistance will be helpful.

My 7 Year and 3 Month Update with ALS.
The average life expected is 2 to 5 years. So I am living on borrowed time and I Thank God Every Day I wake up. ALS Disease is HORRIBLE to go through. It steals your life. It is a Death Sentence as there is NO Cure. I am not able to talk or walk and have to be fed with a feeding tube inserted in my stomach. I have a baclofen medicine pump inserted in my left side of my stomach that is hooked to my spine to keep me from having muscle spasms that violently shake my legs. I have a cough machine that helps me cough to clear the mucus so I don't choke on it. I have a breathing machine called Trioligy which is a ventilator to use to help me breath because I am short of breath all the time because my muscles are getting weaker. I survived through getting the Covid Virus but I spent a week in the hospital.
I have lost 100 lbs from 228 lbs down to 128 lbs now and skin and bones and all muscle tone and movement. I have a Catheter hooked through my stomach and in to my bladder so I can pee into a urine bag. I got the second COVID-19 vaccine shot on April 1st and it was going good until a couple of days ago and it hit me with side effects of Dizzy and Fever and Sweating feels like COVID-19 all over again. I do feel a little better this morning so I wanted to give this update. I am not sure how much longer I will be able to do this. I can not use the computer and do it all from my phone. Please contact my wife Jennifer with any questions or concerns. It is truly hell to go through ALS every day of my life. I wish ALS on No One.

November 16 2018   Columbia River Health Clinic
Follow-up with Dr. McDonald. We spoke on where I am at now after being off of steroids for a while and just as we both expected the spasticity has come back to where it was before starting the steroids. The freezing weather is making it worse.
She asked me to do simple range of motion exercises with my left arm, asked me to open my hand but on the range of motion it was noticeable that I was struggling. It was hard to make my arm move above my head and in other directions. My hand was back into a fist.
Dr. McDonald sighed as we both saw how the steroids completely switched the way my body’s spasticity was and now we are back to where we started. She suggested going back to physical therapy but I declined as I explained how going to physical therapy for my arm will on;y help for that hour that I am there and as soon as I get out from that session my spasticity will go back to how it was.
I told her in my childhood years we treated my spasticity with Baclofen a muscle relaxer and Botox injection treatment that did bring relief for three months. We did Botox injections up until I was ten years old as Dr. Andrews, an Orthopedic surgeon,Baclofen pump surgically placed in my abdomen would be the next step. I underwent the ITB pump trial, where they inserted a needle into my spine with Baclofen and monitored more for a couple of hours to see if I would qualify/benefit from this pump.
I noticed improvement more so one my left leg. I was told if I was approved, the catheter that would inject the medication directly to my spine and would be placed in a higher area than usual so my arm and hand would receive more of the effect of the medication.
After undergoing the trial my mother and I spoke to a couple of specialists. Some agreed the pump would be beneficial and about two specialists suggested not to have it as with this rare disease, I get a lot of MRI’s and the ITB pump would interfere.
We decided to double the dosage of Dantrolene to 50mg 3x daily and discussed we still have a stretch until we hit the maximum dose. Dr. McDonald said that she will discuss with another colleague if he has any other ideas. She lastly suggested a low dose of steroids would be my last option. I informed her of stopping the “new” seizure medication that I was transitioning to because of a skin reaction and next appointment with neurologist will be in two weeks.

We need to talk about disability and post-traumatic stress
I was born with spastic quadrapelgic cerebral palsy—the most severe form of brain injury one can acquire at birth—due to both premature birth and birth trauma.  For my first three months, my parents lived inside the chaotic, yet sterile hospital walls of the NICU, watching my heartbeat flutter up and down, listening to the constant beeping of the monitors that were keeping me alive.  On top of emergency surgery to remove dying tissue in my colon and an ostomy bag that was attached to me for months after, my family had to accept the fact that their child would never walk, have limited use of their arms and trunk, and perhaps never talk.
Thankfully, despite being in a wheelchair, I talk—a lot—and as one of my therapists put it, I “had a lot of spunk.”
But the road ahead was still filled with uncertainties.
For example, my first memory as a child was my first femoral ostetomy for hip dysplasia. Both of my hips were surgically broken, muscles were released, pins were placed and at just three, I spent six weeks of my life in a body cast, immobile.
Similar procedures continued throughout childhood - ranging from having the aforementioned plates removed, to releasing both hamstring muscles, to placing a baclofen pump, and more.
The pump still haunts me.
Essentially, a baclofen pump is a drug pump that is placed under the abdomen, with a catheter threaded through the spinal cord to give my body a continous supply of drug.  Our thought process at the time was that this pump would make my muscles far less spastic, thus lessening the damage on my bones and muscles as I grew older and, in theory, lessening the need for future surgeries.  I was seven.
About a year after the pump was placed, it went haywire - for some reason or another, the line in my spinal cord had kinked.  I was overdosing around the clock.  No one knew why I couldn’t keep my eyes open, why I was projectile vomiting or why I became unrespnsive; my pupils were so dialated, emergency room teams thought I had already died.
To this day, I still have vivid memories of being the Children’s Hospital ICU, which contained multiple beds.  Some children were recovering from surgery; others had been burned; others had been in accidents.  Despite the fact that I could quite literally die at any moment, all I cared about was being able to move the head of my bed up and down, the orange buttons fascinating me to no end as they always did when I was admitted around that age.
Eventually, even I knew shit was hitting the fan.  At one point, while watching E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial in my room with a massive, old school roll-in TV and an oxygen mask covering my face—which I initally mistook for a surgical mask—I did everything I could to fight the urge to fall asleep.  I was terrified I would once again drift away, unable to wake up.
One admission turned into another as another overdose had occured not long after my discharge.  This time around, my mother drove me back to the hospital where the pump had been placed.  I was vomitting in a coffee mug in the back of our mini van, and she promptly carried me through the front doors of the hospital, begging for help.  It was eventually removed, but tne combination of having a warped self-concept from previous surgeries and two near-death experiences severely traumatized me and made me a shell of a child.  Not having a pump also means I’ve had to undergo additional procedures, such as on my hips, legs, feet and spine.
Which brings us to today.
At 24, after nearly three dozen trips to the operating room—most of them directly related to my cerebral palsy—I have made the decision to proceed with having another baclofen pump placed, due to severe chronic pain as well as fatigue related to my cocktail of oral drugs.  In the midst of coming to terms with that decision, I also began attending therapy and recieved the diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder related to medical trauma.
If there’s anything I’ve learned since my PTSD diagnosis—even if it’s only been formal for a few weeks—it’s that it’s really not exclusive to war veterans.  This is something I’ve known for awhile, of course, given that I’ve studied it and other diagnoses in school, but when you’re having to face your own trauma, you view it from a different perspective.  As I often tell my therapist, I was just trying to get from point A to point B.  As traumatic as it’s been, it’s also been my normal, and has been for literally my entire life.  I always viewed it from the lens of, this sucks, is excrutiatingly painful and I feel super vulnerable right now, but it’s what I have to do.  To get better.  There’s even a part of me that felt like the friends who distanced themselves from me in school did so because I deserved it, and that there was something about my disabilitiy that made me a bad friend.  A bad daughter.  A bad sister.  And most of all, a burden.
Through all of this, I’ve realized that there’s others who have gone through medical trauma that have probably felt this way, too.  It’s so seldom talked about, but very real.  And as I head into consultation with my neurosurgeon next week, I’m not going to hide the persistant feelings of panic and what if.  
And niether should you.  Your experiences are real.  Let’s help start the dialouge, and stop the stigma.

I wish I had my medical fantasy tag hanging off a good story but instead I have yet another bit of medical news that’s going to have me in limited production.
Let’s get the bad news off first.
I’ve got a three to four week series on a heavy medicine to get rid of the odd skin condition that formed in my pelvis after those yeast infections.
Good news
It’s not such a severe condition that it’ll fully shut me down for production. I should by the weekend be able to have a session with Mike and in the vacbag. If not by weekend sometime next week. As for writing, I’ll be able to probably do up to an hour or so a day, unfortunately for me I use a lot of energy writing and get very sweaty which can cause these conditions to flare. The thing I need to do now is avoid sweating so the drug can work.
So yeah, had my Baclofen pump give us a month and a half of drama and now my balls are literally giving me issues.
This sucks balls!
I’ll be on as I can conditions allowing. Another update to come when it’s cured or if the shit hits the fan.
