Requesting Help For Copd And Degenerative Disc Disease
I am 55 yr white female with DDD & COPD. I have had an unsuccessful fusion at L5 S1. The disc above and below the fusion has deteriorated. I have so much scar tissue that it is squeezing the sciatic nerve. I have a neuro-stimulator implant, as well as an implanted pain pump. It now has fentanol in it. I pretty much got in so much pain that I let the doctors do anything they suggested. I have been in pain since April of 2000! I developed copd about 4 years ago and kept smoking. It was too hard to quit since the rest of my life had been taken. My dr says I only have 26% usage of my lungs. I take albuterol in a nebulizer. I also take cymbalta for depression. I drink several water bottles a day with ACV in them.
I have read a lot of different things on EC. I am confused. I am disappointed that Ted cannot answer emails, he seems to have great advice for folks. I am loosing ground quickly now and I've almost given up. Is there anyone that has had these "ailments" and found anything to help them have a more productive life? My daughter is expecting twins in a few months and it is hard to bare thinking I can not have much of a relationship with them in my condition. Any advice would truely be appreciated.

HI U GABBYSUE, , , , , , , , , , there are many wise folks on this site , but you need a really wise man. That is Dr. Shallenberger in Reno City, Nv. I have never met this man but I read and watch everything that he does or says. He is sumpin.
To convince yourself, then watch all his videos before you make a decision. It appears that you are in desperation and that is not a good state to be in. Settle down, research and make a decision.
Folks here want to help but they are limited. It appears that you want a quick fix. The length of time it took you to get into your condition is the time it will take you to get out. That's a biological fact.
Hope my rational has helped.
