Opuslinks.com was developed in December 2004. Since the beginning, Opuslinks has helped thousands of people with support and information on considering an electromedical therapy for symptoms of serious disorder. In addition, Opuslinks has undergone many changes as the development of electromedicine technologies rapidly advances. The mission of Opuslinks is to provide, clear, concise information, support and personal stories to those interested in electromedicine and to share in the discussion on the controversy of this rapidly developing technology. Please feel free to browse our new, updated website and check back each month for our newsletter, filled with all the advances in electromedicine. Opuslinks.com was written and developed by people that have undergone some form of electromedicine technology or procedure. We are not trained medical professionals. Please always contact trained medical professionals for all information related to electromedical therapies. Please see the disclaimer. Opuslinks wishes everyone wisdom and happiness on the road of life. If you would like to comment on Opuslinks, please contact support@opuslinks.com.
From the Founder
My name is Bridget Kelly. I am the founder of opuslinks.com by the recommendation of a Trigeminal Neuralgia sufferer who requested that I spread the word. I also presented a 25-page paper on Motor Cortex Stimulation, at the National Trigeminal Neuralgia Association Conference in November 2004. I had Motor Cortex Stimulation at Cleveland Clinic in October 2003 for eight-year, right-sided, intractable neuropathy.
My mother was a stroke nurse before she went on to work as a nurse in the county jail, a research laboratory, and as a Medicare supervisor. My father was a minor league baseball player and business man. He lost his dream of going pro when he threw his arm out. He always told me to keep my eye on the ball. My father died of renal cell cancer when I was 20 and he was 50. He contracted this from a chemical that is sprayed in the fields. Before his death, he was used as an experiment for new treatments in cancer research. He told me to study why he died. My aunt was in part responsible for raising my three sisters and me. My aunt is a physician assistant at a Children’s Hospital Emergency Room. She may have gone on to be a doctor, but she suffered from Polycystic Kidney Disease since the age of 25. When we were young, medical books and other books surrounded us.
I became very ill as a teenager. Later, I went on to date a severely mentally ill man for eight years. I also lived with another friend with a mental illness for three years. Throughout my upbringing, I was surrounded by illness. I do believe in looking back that I had partial seizures. I was diagnosed with Meniere’s disease and a seriously low B12 deficiency at the age of 25, before trigeminal neuropathy. I was never an alcoholic.
In my 20’s I worked and went to school. I wanted to study occupational therapy but passed it away because I was forced to study the brain. I often put school on hold to help others or because I was ill. I worked for an electronics manufacturer, many floral shops, in an arts theater, in an intensive care unit as a coordinator, and for famous doctors of infectious diseases, Drs. William A. Craig and David Andes. I think very highly of these physicians for they were great teachers of science and the medical industry. I planned to become a medical librarian or a microbiologist until I realized that my illness is chronic and degenerative to all cranial and spinal cord nerves. This includes the eyes. I am a great observer, researcher and recorder of life. In March 2002, I went on Social Security Disability and became estranged from my family. I call it Midwestern denial. I am one year away from a bachelor’s degree in English. I studied writing intensive and science, but at some point my brain would not allow me to do the math or languages.
I want people to understand that I am not doctor. My experiences offer hope. I am certain of the potential of medical stimulation to treat many complex disorders. I have had the opportunity to witness many medical miracles and mistakes. I desperately believe that all people have a right to proper pain management and treatment. I was without it for years. My first course in college was medical ethics. I am happy that I have an opportunity to advance a science I believe in. I often think of other countries and how they can possibly deal with disorders without the proper care.
I can feel my cognition and brain function diminish, but I am not scared. Stimulation makes me feel like all is normal again. I hope that my input and the information from people around the world will advance this technology and help people with all forms of disability triumph. Bridget Kelly
