17. I Think My Attitude Is Damn Good

considering I've been disabled since I was a baby. That's what I've been told my entire life - oh you handle so well...even with constant chronic pain from my neck to my feet that started in my 30's. I've had my share of surgeries since I was 10 and a dozens of leg braces though the years, including my new one which will prevent my ankle from collapsing.

I don't want any more surgeries... I'm old and my muscles are far too weak now to recover properly. So I look for alternative options....I and others have had amazing success with B6 for CTS. Magnesium Oil via Transdermal application got rid of the debilitating throw-up migraines when nothing else helped. It has also helped with my overall well being. So much so, I stopped taking a couple of RX's I took for years. I will use these two products for the rest of my days along with my pain med. You see the pain is so bad, a narcotic is also needed.

BTW... govt. took me seriously when I applied for SSDI - I was approved in 3 weeks. That doesn't happen unless you have "real medical problems"

You really shouldn't assume who and who doesn't have real medical problems and who is qualified to post in the chronic health conditions forum.
