Thanks Bram.. and we've got to try.. right? Life is full of all kinds of risks. It's part of living. I hope you'll keep us posted as you go. I am VERY interetsed in what you'll be doing. I would also like to try IVIG. I go for a block this morning. First one ever. honestly, not being pessimistic but I feel like.. okay, I'll do it. and I might even get beneit for a while (much like some meds I take), but I am highly doubtful this will be the end all be all of my situation. My pain has gotten very debilitating. I do believe we must start somewhere in trying to get a handle on it though.
