I suffer from many cyst...i have several in my brain and in my gums, also i had one in my (crack) which had to be surgically removed. The ones in my brain are not affecting me, the ones in my gum sometimes hurt and one I can release the pressure when in get to much. My biggest problem is sometimes I cannot lift my arms, I have no strength, and across my shoulders and neck are so painful. I have dealt with that for several years. My under eyes would get very swelled and I would get worse and I could sleep for several days. One day i woke up and only from my elbow to my hand would work. I could not even get my arm pulled away from my body. I had electricity shot thru my body and long needles poked in my back. They told me that once you damage the nerves in you spine there was no renovating of them. It took me a year and going to the chiropractor for me to be able to lift my arms. I have always have trouble with this even now. I keep working and keep those muscles active. I have constant headaches and now my hands, feet, ankles, knees and wrist are constantly painful and swelled. I am taking prednisone but just for a short while. I have gone to doctors, not many to find out and they don t know much. I have passed for arthritis, my spine showed small signs of ms. The prednisone is like a miracle drug. It does help out . I am taking 5 mg. Any thoughts?
