You know, feeling down, recognizing challenges, understanding the hurdles... all of that goes into the means to surmount the difficulty. When you hurt, you hurt. No amount of denial will make the pain go away. Acknowledging it, putting it into perspective, gaining care to manage it if possible, such is the make up of we who are here.

If your leads are misaligned due to trauma and the effect of the device is marginalized as even your rep seems to agree, this all adds to the notion of presuasion one would think as you address the pain issue with your pain doc. Just seems common sense. Maybe your doc, as you have posted before is wanting to get beyond the neurological visit you have scheduled before going further on your treatment. Kinda hard to speculate, but one just has to wonder.

Depression cripples as well, and your care for such an issue, both medicinal and therapeutic sounds like a couple of steps in such a good direction. Hang in there with it. Help can come through both of those approaches.

Hang in there, hang in there, hang in there. As one singer to another, I am pulling for you. You can do it. You have my prayers too.
