Yes, I do agree that drinking too much water is not recommended, one may even die from it when electrolytes are too deluded or non-existed, and it almost happened to me as well. Joanne, you've been in this situation a long time, and I'm sure that you did all the homework about what's good, what's not. What I've learned the hard way is that we all should look for natural remedies, not chemicals which may cure one problem, and cause many new problems. We all are part of nature, we do self heal, to certain extend off course, that's why it's important to try everything there is before going under the knife. That was my mistake, and I'm still paying the price for it, for trusting the surgeon too much just because he had thousands of similar surgeries under his belt.
Take care Joanne.......Jerzy

Hi Jerzy, I’m still going to PT which is internal and external. I take no pain drugs as I’m allergic to everyone of them. I’m going to weekly acupuncture too. I just after 14 months see no results. If I saw a slight change believe me I would be thrilled. I’ve been told the colon is a very stupid organ,tough to get going.
After acdf fusion surgery in Boston I followed up with a gag reflux study.if I remember correctly that was at 6 month follow up. Also during my surgery he was assisted by a nerve specialist and I don’t know her professional name. She was in the operating room doing a similar function to acupuncture but more in depth. She stimulated many nerves during the entire surgery. I woke up when fully alert and many little pinhole size bruises everywhere, I had them in my head as well. Prior to surgery I was explained her role and how it played with having a large fusion. I had a lot of concern ending up with nerve damage. I’m quite sure I still could have.
My date is set. I’m following through with PT and acupuncture till very end with hopes it may jump start my system.
I just feel I’ve done all the non medical drug related types of care offered to me. Maybe I’m missing something I’m not aware of. Can you share more of what you sent through after surgery and what you still are going through. Also, I’m guessing and just a guess you went to a large NY hospital. Did you use a large well know facility. Having had many surgeries I surely believe it’s better. Be well and happy, Joanne
