Anyways, I'd appreciate any advice, guidance, etc. about the procedure.
Thanks!

I saw my pain specialist today and she is actively working on getting approval and funding for me to get an ONS. She said the gov't has approved a few for Angina pain and she is working on seeing if they will actually reallocate one of them for me.
While I would be glad to have the pain be gone permanantly, I am starting to feel a bit scared at the idea of having wires in my head and a battery pack in my abdomen.
ON is not for wimps! *laughs* I am only 37 and I think I'm too young to be dealing with the crud too! Especially since I was also diagnosed with MS this spring. How much more can a girl take? I spend far too much time at the hospital. I am hoping if I do end up getting this ONS, it would mean LESS time at the hospital.
