I'm new today and am not sure how all of this works. My history is- stroke in 2001-recovery gift...Thalamic Pain Syndrome. This all happened when I was 50, so I'm hanging in there. Finally getting to be a Grandma in June so I need to keet going. I'm lucky though, I pushed hard and finally got an internal pain pump at the Cleveland Clinic in '06 . No miracle but the hydromorphone helps some. I was able to get a Disability Retirement from my teaching job from the state union last year. Now I'm fighting Social Security for benefits.
Anyone out there have any luck with them and this diagnosis?
