After months of issues that the housemate feared could be MS or Motor Neuron disease (she had a cousin with it), after seeing doctors, physios and a chiropracter she eventually was sent to a neurologist who did numerous tests and then sent her for xrays and an MRI scan. He just called to say she has two pinched nerves in her neck and that she now has to go to a neurosurgeon for injections to sort it out. Thankfully something that can be cured and not a dread disease. She is VERY relieved.

Collapsed discs?

I had 2. Had em replaced with titanium joints and never looked back. Life changing.

That's what causes the pinched nerves
Well he’s a specialist and sent her for xrays and an mri scan of her brain and neck. I assume if he saw that he would say so.

My mother had a slipped disc or similar years ago and had an op to fix it, similar to you.

Happy you've been released.

Doctors were probably happy to see the back of their drug resistant patient.
I asked the main treating physician 2 days ago.

I asked him if I would be the unusual case that he would talk about at 80 when he needs stories to tell.

His words - hell no, I am already talking about your case now.
I didn't know this but between the drugs, oxygen even dropped to 28,...

Etc etc.
He says I flat lined twice! He says not long, but long enough that there's no activity, and then heart and breathing would restart again. And it would happen before they could shock me back to life.

So no definitely was NOT my time to go!

Welcome home. The thing that I loved the best was the lights didn't have to be bright and no one made a noise or disturbed me while I was sleeping.
I am still scared of sleeping, and now don't get sleeping tablets so woke up 3 times last night

But was most excellent being back in our bed, with our bedding.

And no fucking Dracula tooth (sugar was checked 3 or 4 times a day)
