Spike,
It is crazy insurance will not pay for a trial of these treatments. They are far less expensive that a SCS and much less invasive. Much of the research shows them to be as effective. I think there are a lot of question about which protocol is the most effective. We need more research.
Alaina,
If you have other questions about the experience let me know. Little Paw was kind enough to document hers, but I did not. As I said above, I became pretty depressed and withdrew from the board for awhile. I would not recommend my approach. It would have been healthier to have asked for help. ~mac
