No worries TJ!

When you say nerve stimulator, do you mean a spinal cord stimulator? Because a TENS unit IS a nerve stimulator- it stands for transcutaneous electronic nerve stimulation. And if that works for you, it can be a good indicator that something like a SCS would work for you- it is exactly the same technology except that the SCS is implanted inside of your spine. Hopefully that will give you a bit of hope!

Have all of your clotting factors checked out, for sure, if you are having clots- they can kill you dead really easily. My big goal of anticoagulant therapy is to prevent a stroke- that possibility scares the crap out of me. But if I take my meds the possibility is pretty remote.

And I'm glad that the mindfulness stuff seemed interesting to you- I truly believe that taking care of your state of mind is just as important as the physical part of things.

Hope this helps a bit!
