Hmmmm I think maybe a little brain damage might not hurt lol. Or maybe it might help the hurt
My doc once told me to look at the options and then weigh which would be worse. Well according to him a life of pain is far worse than having to take pain meds, as pain is proven to also kill the brain, or at least cause atrophy.
I decided a long time ago that I wasnt going to put my hopes up for expensive, invasive, or otherwise hope dashing treatments. I do think as you do, that to each their own, and wont be the stumbling block to our fellow RSD'ers
At least right at this moment I know what im dealing with.....Pain. Why go through some procedure that isnt 100% going to cure me, and has the likelyhood of maybe making me worse? I opt for what I know.
Dont be afraid to express your opinion, some of us like to hear what you and others have to say. I do hope you are doin ok, and have you in my prayers, and will ever have you in my heart
