Hi Linda, is this something that you are thinking of doing? I know another
procedure is very scary. At least it is not surgery.
I will research these options. I am suppose to go to a pain clinic when my
ins. kicks in for a celious plexis block, by the time I go in for that, they
may have other solutions. I just don't want to be cut on any more. I do want
my life back, to do things that I can't. Even tossing the frisbee for Sadie
my Border Collie hurts so bad. I miss playing with her and being active
period. People and family just do not understand. I love responses. You
aren't feeling better yet? Boy it has been a long time. You look so good,
you don't look sick at all. and on and on. I appreciate so much talking to
all of you and hearing your stories. I don't feel so all alone. My episode
yesterday was beyond words. My oldest son that deals with mental illness and
always expects me to do it all for him at 26, finally saw what I go through
yesterday. I usually go straight to my room and close the door so no one
see's what I deal with. I guess they all need to see what I go through all
of the time, then maybe I will get some help, Yes I know I must be joking!
Bless all of you, some day maybe a Movie Star will get this, and then they
will be believed, and finally we will get attention and help too. Farrah
Fawcett poor gal has been through hell, but she has brought so much
attention and hope to those suffering from Cancer of the rear end. We may
get that help too.
