I saw Dr Stanton Hicks too. Have you docmilo6 had any procedures done by him? My friend had her scs implanted by him recently after many other types of treatment. Just wondering what you may have done with him. TO the original poster I missed the part about your stomach issues but the giral I am talking about here has rsd in her stomach in addition to her limbs and the scs helped for relief in all. I agree I hope your family goes to apts with you and can support you as well. Many thoughts
