The reason that arachnoiditis sufferers have not been able to get much help is because medical science did not realize that the central nervous system creates an inflammation that has unique characteristics compared to that in joints and muscles. It is formed by the microglial cell, and it does not respond or suppress much, if at all, to standard anti-inflammatory drugs or hydrocortisone.

Is arachnoiditis a rare disease?

The term “arachnoiditis” will continue to be used to encompass both patients who show nerve root adhesion to the arachnoid layer as well as those patients whose nerve roots are inflamed and pathologically clumped together. Arachnoiditis is still listed as a rare disease on the “Rare Disease Registry”, and it is recognized enough to have its own “International Classification of Disease” code number (ICD-10, G 03.9). In the past it has been thought to be a “hopeless” disease for which only symptomatic treatment could be done. Our new understanding of nerve root inflammation, autoimmunity, centralized pain, electromagnetism, and the neurohormones have given us the tools to greatly control arachnoiditis and nerve root inflammation just as we do with rheumatoid arthritis. A medical protocol to treat arachnoiditis has been developed for outpatient, medical practitioners and it will be made available on request. Every patient with arachnoiditis can and should now get enough relief and recovery to have a meaningful, quality of life without suffering.
