Trigger for OT

[chrissie]

I also think back problems (postings by RED) and OT are connected, I have to be very careful as when my back spasms I end up crawling around. But I feel the main trigger was carbon monoxide poisoning. I was lucky to be found semi-conscious after breathing fumes from a faulty heating boiler, it was immediately after that the tremors started. The reason for this posting is an article in our local paper The News (portsmouth UK). A healthy 18 year old was attacked and struck her head, this triggered a rare brain disease known as VWM (vanishing white matter). Doctors believe this had been dormant for years and are now genetic testing her parents to see if they are carriers of the disease. She can now move around the house using a Zimmer frame but has a dehilitating tremor in her hand. She is not expected to live beyond her thirties. (My heart goes out to her). We are lucky in the fact OT is not life threatening, but could something have triggered it? I still can't say whether it was my back, poisoning or something else.
