Hi Gunny,

First, great photo - dogs are SO special. I know they are very important to you personally.

As to your Post, please put the thoughts of taking the Glock Highway out of your mind. I know your Depression and PTSD leads to those Dark thoughts, driven on by the tightening screw of the pains and headaches. We really DO have issues in common, caused, unfortunately on both parts, by wildly different events.

But you have now been given a glimmer of light in the form of the offer of an SCS trial. Believe me, I knew nothing about them 6 months ago, and now, thanks to the Members here, I am educated. I have read all the Posts, all the Threads, everyone coming and going and opinion here is very much Positive. Mark56 is a great proponent, I hope he sees your Post and chips in. He knows it all and shares freely - as do others.

However, there are some negatives. Ger715 is a great friend who has not had a good experience - SHOUT OUT, GERRY!

IMO, as you kindly asked, as you have been given the option of a Trial and the Pain Management Dr you think so much of thinks you are a viable candidate I say 'go for it!' and I wish you more success you can possibly imagine.

Dave.
