Galyon - I understand the frustration. I've been through this too. People look
at you and just expect you to just - stop doing something - as if it is a
behavioral issue. You should try to be a teacher and have rediculous county
officials (most are not that intelligent or have a strong educational
background - you should see what types of degrees many of them have - P.E. and
health ect) chalk you up as defiant or violate rules and proceedures and
conduct codes because you pee too much at the wrong - "unscheduled" times -
that you walk with a limp or you don't jump up and run to the door when the
bell rings because you CAN'T and then they document you as insubordinate. I
understand what you mean when someone invites you to church and you sit in the
back because you know that you'll have to go to the bathroom 5 times during
service - and when you legs twitches people stare at you for inturpting their
little spiritual moments. Trust me - it gets frustrating. I hate, after all
that, to go to a doctor because you are in pain - and they say 'well, that's
just part of the problem" or "you spine MRI shows normal range readings -
except for a few minor signals in your spinal nerves ect." Well those "minor"
readings hurt like hell, keep you up at night, make you drive to work scary,
and never let you rest for a few moments.
Always feel free to share your feelings. It helps get stuff out but it also
helps others as well.

Now I have always been the type person that won't go to the doctor when
I should and still had the same attitude even at this time, cause the pain
would change from un bearable to just as soon as the pain would start to let
up, I would think alright, I'm gonna be ok. Finally my wife convinced me to go
to the mountain hospital to let them look at me own our way back home.
If any of you have ever been to a small town hospital you can imagine how
different the experience can be. The doctor had them to do a cat scan on me and
she thought I was in pain from my spinal stenosis that she diagnosed me with.
Of course now I'm riding back home with my leg jumping around and would not
stop moving and my wife was thinking can't you stop that? I said no my legs are
jumping all on their own. After 1 hour 45 min. we arrived at our main home
(where all the flat landers live). That night I was hit again with the same
symptoms as before. And went to a more modern day hospital. I had to use a
wheelchair and was in tears from the pain.
Now with more doctors looking at me they decided to take me to have an MRI
cause at this point they thought I had something wrong with my spine and was
gonna need immediate surgery for what ever they find. I was put on IV steroids
and glad of it and of course pain meds to try and calm me down. Then the
doctors came in and said,
