Hi Folks- Archie here— I’m glad to see the detailed communications and responses. I have seen about 10 of us now who have Arachnoiditis—what a treasure-trove of experience and information!! I’ve had AA since the 1970‘s (before it was fashionable), and until this Mayo blog, I have never talked with another person with the condition. What a gift to find you ALL! Please let’s keep the conversation going. We’re in this together—loneliness doesn’t have to be an option. Thanks to all for contributing! Archie
