Jesika,

Thank you for the encouragement. Yes, it is true that we find out who we really are when faced with a condition like this. We find out who others are too, for good and bad.

I'm so sorry to hear you lost your job. I lost mine as well. It's my theory that we are meant for something bigger.

I have the type 2 as well, I find that interesting because I was told it is really rare.

If you don't mind, what have you tried that helps? Hurts?

My history is:

Discectomy/laminectomy l4
Many series of lumbar blocks, sacroiliac joint blocks
Anterior/posterior fusion s1-l4-l5
Spinal cord stimulator put in
Spinal cord stimulator taken out

Thanks and take care,
Wendy
