Pete, it is becoming more apparent to me that there is no "Silver Bullet" other than some kind of miracle.
..and yes, I am probably SIP and therefore the 'pathology' truly lies in my brain and only a coma (no thanks) or neurofeedback (which I would like to try long term if I could afford it -- refer to Blueskies very interesting post) could reset the brain...
You've been with this for such a very long time...you are one of our pillars..

Mike, it seems that the information validates that my brain is on a lightening speed new path...it's bigger than 'me', bigger than my ego, my psyche, but hopefully not bigger than my 'mind'.... (I feel like a freak, a derailment from the natural rhythms of my body...)
As always, boundless thanks for the research...you are our honorary Doc

The last block I had (the popliteal) didn't help at all..It is a diagnostic tool..if it didn't help then they do one in the hip/back...if that doesn't help than it's probably in the ol' brain...SIP, zip-zapping through the wires of my electrical system...the ineffective seven Lumbar blocks (except for the first one two years ago) seem to validate this...

Since I am now probably SIP, (thank, everyone, for helping me figure this out)my curiousity and push for remission seem futile...and although my fiery optimism is receding, I'm still trying to....
Hope4thebest (Sorry, I had a bad day ...I panicked in the MRI machine today and they had to pull me out...) Tomorrow might be a better day... xoxox
