Re: Has anyone had a serious car accident since being diagnosed?

Tamara,
I was injured in a car accident in 2006, two years after being diagnosed. I was waiting to make a left turn onto my street, stopped with my left blinker on, when a young man never saw me and hit me at 50 mph. His car was totaled, and my Lexus should have been declared totaled, as they found additional damage inside the trunk after they began the repair work.
I saw a chiropractor within 3 weeks of the accident. The young man's insurance covered it.
I injured my upper back and neck.
The decompression machine gave me the best results. The TENS unit made me feel like I was being electrocuted. The adjustments that the chiropractor made to my spine were great.
If you see a chiropractor, make sure he/she is completely aware of your MC.
I empathize and hope you feel better soon, Tamara.
Mary
