The following need to be addressed:

am experiencing extreme, sudden falls in blood pressure.

82/48 2/11
71/45 2/13
83/41 2/22

unknown trigger, though i have been experiencing 'spells' where i am overcome with weakness and feel almost like an 'electrical charge' throughout my body. these 'spells' have peaks and valleys, but the low bloood pressure readings are not always at the peaks, the middles, or the lows. i am quite puzzled. and concerned for that matter.

blood pressure generally runs around 100/60.

the 'spells' only started in late 2007. i've only recognized the bp falling since 2/11/10.

----------------------------

vertigo - falling quite regularly since stroke. formerly prescribed MECLIZINE 25MG 3xDay 1978-1996. unable to maintain as drs have been concentrating on more serious issues these past years. it is now, however, causing further medical problems.

- seriously aggravating back problems. Most recent fall february 20. Scatia pain is severe. can barely walk from room to room. have become almost completely shut-in.

- have also been experiencing 'pretzel legs', where my feet and legs don't seem to function the way i ask them to, and i cannot coordinate my arm controlling the cane and my legs. i get all twisted and fall to the ground. several times a week.
 
----------------------------

myalgia - have been referred to a neurologist more than once but have been unable to find a medicaid provider.

pain management - for years i have been complaining about pain similar to that i'd expect from an alligator taking a bite out of my left side.

for these same years i have thought these pains to be related to kidney stone problems, which upon testing proves to be not always the case. more than half the time, not.

i now know that this is all related to:

- spondylosis [rheumatologist?]
- tethered cord
- annular bulge L3-L4
- scatia

osteopath? please help...

i can no longer leave the house without assistance. used to enjoy walks, but now cannot even walk to the drugstore 5 blocks away to get my prescriptions.

I bought an adult tricycle, but cannot ride it because of the vertigo. I need a new prescription for an electric wheelchair or scooter.

----------------------------

i continue to battle depression & ptsd.

have not been able to obtain treatment at the edenborn facility due to lack of transportation.

have not been able to maintain medications since november 2009.
