Hello everyone, I've been doing loads of educational research just to try work out what's happening to me and possibly why. Years ago I had viral meningitis (about 28 years ago) and was really ill in hospital for 3 weeks but more recently under anaesthetic for an operation (which went wrong immediately and surgery was abandoned) due to the fact that the acid from my stomach filled my lungs and I ended up on a life support with asperation pneumonia and also had sepsis (that they didn't tell me about). I've read a lot of research about how viruses and bacterial infections can be significant in ms. I was also extremely stressed with work at the time of my first major attack and have heard this can also be a massive trigger. Also my hubby has parkinsons and I attended a talk by a top neurologist at parkinsons UK recently who said research believes that parkinsons (as well as Ms) can start in the gut which reflected research I'd read about gut flora and the gut/brain connection. my hubby and I have had gut problems for years. Last year after years of omoprazole without success and worsening symptoms It was found that I had helicobator pylori and multiple ulcers but have also suffered 2 bad cases of campylobator in the past and just wondered if anyone else has experienced similar or read up on any medical research.
