Spinal misdiagnosis (dozens of times)
With reference to the report on this under Arachnoid Membrane Hyperplasia, I now show how I searched for eight years, and how it was my premiere to have correctly diagnosed myself with complex diagnoses requiring treatment over the last almost 25 years, but which could only lead to some surgical solutions, at least to confirmations, years later, and how much unnecessary suffering this degenerate so-called health system has generated throughout my life, and how it has continued and will continue to do so.
Figure 1 shows the first spinal MR diagnosis in my life, on which dozens of radiologists in private practice and in clinics did not see what I had suspected since 2002 (labelled in yellow by me), after I began my self-taught medical studies, until today only via https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/
In Figure 2 I show an excerpt from a first objective diagnosis by neurologists in a clinic, who were completely wrong in their spinal findings, but who made a great effort.
The flow phenomena or flow artefacts described there, as I often heard, were the complex network of a post-infectious arachnoid membrane hyperplasia, better known but not quite correct as a spinal intradural arachnoid cyst, which I described at the time as cystic structures.
However, hyperplastic arachnoid membranes tend to form simple structures that lead to valve-like or complete blockages of the CSF.
Membranes that form into cysts often exert space-occupying pressure on the myelon, which can lead to atrophy.
All this and also the fact that such hyperplastic membranes exert tensile forces on the sensitive spinal cord as adhesions was already known in 1944 and long before https://karger.com/mng/article-abstract/109/4-6/310/188853/Uber-spinale-und-intrakranielle-Arachnoiditiden-pp , knowledge that is almost completely lacking among doctors today.
All these things were found intraoperatively in my case.
The symptoms described in the excerpt from the report and many more became history with the adhesiolysis in April 2009, and with my scoliosis there was no need to try to explain this.
At least there wasn’t even the usual ICD-F diagnosis.
Or this nonsense with the freely invented pseudo-psychological diagnosis of fibromyalgia (muscle tension), with which I was quickly disposed of even back then.
It’s unbelievable how experienced doctors use this quackery with tender points 😂🤦
These so-called tender points were also the cause of spinal intradural adhesions.
The neurosurgeons in 2009 were already shaking their heads with regard to the so-called flow phenomena, because those in neurology with the report in Figure 1 had pushed me into the “tube” three times back in 2008 because they didn’t know what these cystic structures were, which I had already assumed for seven years, only I couldn’t find anyone in this medical knowledge desert of Germany, which I had perceived as a medically developing country since my childhood, and which I have to perceive again and again.
Apart from that, my reports always contain the same statements (excluding drastically worsened concentration since incorrect treatment in 2011 as a result of incorrect treatment) on so-called psychopathology (silly) and my vigilance disorders in every EEG without exception …
