I am slowly working to reduce my meds so that I can find the balance between meds and stimulation. I look forward to a clear mind again.
I had both a neurosurgeon and neurologist doubt that the SCS would be helpful for my face pain. They did not think that the leads could be placed high enough to provide relief.
I am thankful for my blessings and hope that others with this horrible pain can find similar relief.  |
Dear Emsacco- It is wonderful you found the T.N. Face Pain thread! You are right, so many folks are out there in need of help with such a debilitating horrific pain, and it seems you found the solution! BMW attests to its very great benefit in her life, and Calewark now awaits her 5 Aug implant date. There are many here who will benefit by your input and sharing as you progress. May your healing and goal for reduction of meds take you to the place you wish to be in pain management!!!
Blessings on you,
