I'm sorry that the last surgery wasn't a success. How many surgeries have you had? What kind of barriers did your surgeon use last time? It's too bad that Spragel isn't already approved in the US, as some people have had favorable results with it.
I do hope your pain is being managed okay. With the sleep apnea and the fibro you've really got a triple whammy. I'm glad that you have a gyn whom you like. :o)
Rose, your poems are beautiful - I do enjoy them so much!
Wishing you pain free moments, hours and days. Clare
