Will your fusions ever strengthen enough to invert?
I don't believe so unfortunately, the nature of the disease is rather progressive and particularly more advanced and severe due to 2 decades of untreated severe wide-Spread and about 14 doctors to diagnose my symptoms correctly.
In fact, it wasn't even a Doctor that figured it out.
It was my Physical Therapist... After a few initial treatments, she asked..
"So, what is your diagnosis?"
I said.."Well, a few docs think it is Fibromyalgia "
She immediately scoffed, and said... "No, no way in hell that this is Fibro "
Thanks for adding your story! Everybody should know how cannabis enhances stretching! I am curious about your traction device. Maybe you could recline on a slight slant, just slight enough to increase brain blood flow without stressing your fusions? Scary to think one false step could break something. I wish you a safe and sweet healing journey.
My pleasure my friend.
My goal is to be a Pain Advocate or Ambassador, with Cannabis at the forefront.
It is truly amazing how it literally releases inflammation.
And, yes.. The traction device will allow for a slant downwards, however my neck is already stuck in a stooping position, and I'm somewhat of a hunchback. I literally can not look straight up, nor tilt my head.
I have to eat tacos like a sandwich because of this
What is kinda funny...
Physicians will ask me to tilt my head to gauge my range of mobility.
Doc: "Okay, tilt to the right "
Me: "I AM tilting it" lol
This will continue to progress as there is no cure, just dangerous biological medications that shut off my crazy Auto-Immune System.
Thank you for all the kind words of empathy.
PS
A Brave New World is my second favorite book, a very close second to The Doors of Perception.
