Hi Archie Here-
Thanks for responding so quickly. Your symptoms are consistent with my experience and those of many of the folks online. You seem to have a good understanding of what you’re being treated for and why. How did you symptoms start and when? Also, what major procedure have you had that you consider contributed to your Arachnoiditis. For example, I have had AA since 1978 and it came on after 2 laminectomies, an L3-5 fusion, and multiple Myelograms with OIL-BASED pantopaque (contrast) fluid. I was allergic to it. But also scaring in the spinal cord from surgery as well as blood on the surgical field all contributed in my case.
How did it happen for you? Who made the diagnosis? Thanks for responding. Archie.
