News from Rici, a polish patient being operated
Posted: Fri Oct 23, 2009 5:58 am
Rici is a polish patient being operated several days ago in Katovice. He is 54 years old and has EDSS 6.
Rici reports every day about his improvements in health in our german forum so here is a short summary I made as Rici only speaks polish and german:
Day 1
"I can stand heat. Can bend my fingers without any physical exercises. Fingers aren't as stiff as before and the feeling is different. Tinitus is better and speaking is better, too. No pain in my head and back without any physical exercises. No more "double vision". The vein was blocked totally so they had to go thru the vein in my neck. After an hour everything was complete and I felt an instant relief. Spasms are remaining but not as strong."
Day 2
"Just arrived at home. Better feeling in my hands not so much numbness. After having woken up I instantly was able to close my fingers to a fist. Spasms improved. Had to use less Baclofen during the night. Only had to go the bathroom once this night. Before I had to go every 2 hours. I managed to reach home (5 hours drive) without going to the bathroom. Tired now and going to bed."
Day 3
"This night I also had to go only once to the bathroom. Instead of 75 or even more units of Baclofen against the spasms I only needed 35. Before I had to do "bicycle" with my legs every night to avoid uncontrolled movements of my legs. Some years ago I even demolished a bed in the hospital with my leg movements. I was able to stand close to the radiator without feeling uncomfortable. I believe it's not wrong to claim that I HAD MS. Only the consequences of the former wrong treatment are remaining. Such a great relief only after 3 days!"
Day 4
"Already my problems with keeping the balance have started to vanish! Unbelievable!"
