Hello,
I have a question for those of you who suffer form Asperger's. I am wondering if anyone knows if there is a correlation between Asperger's and physical nerve pain. I have had many injuries to my back and neck: three old fractured vertebrea, six disc protrusions, two dessicated discs, three sections with mild degeneration, and two possible area with spinal cord compression (controversial). My chironeurologist doesn't seem to think that these problems should be causing me so much pain and stiffness. I also have numb spots all over my body, pain and weakness in my arms, and chronic migraines. I can't find anyone who can figure it out. Oh, I also have a strained and sprained neck and the pain and stiffness is getting worse instead of better. Anyway, my chiro did some neuro tests and said that I have a cerebral lesion in the right side of my brain as well...my balance is bad, I have diminished reflexes on the left side of my body and my left pupil doesn't dilate/constrict properly. I don't know what to make of it all...does anyone know if any of these neurological problems are related to the neurological problems of Asperger's? Thanks! Kittycat
