Braindrain,

I think because we discussed this so negatively yesterday...I feel compelled to tell you that I was reading another board yesterday and this person reports she did have a positive experience with this procedure. Many people do report positive experiences with this procedure, but it does have to be repeated and I think as many of us pointed out, we just do not know the long term side effects since this procedure was originally used on cancer patients and their illness was terminal...

Read on though...I do not know if I can post a link to another board, but it is a spinal board...
