I sound like a broken record now...but thank you- again, and again, and again! I feel like I should be paying you for all you've been doing to help! But seeing as I can't say it enough, I will hold my sappy thank you's for now, and every so often, you'll get hit with a barrage of them, so be forewarned...deal? lol

Anyway, back to business...I see that you're online, and I have a few more questions for you, just some kinks in the plan that could throw things off at my appt. I sent you a PM, but i'm not sure how that works (like if you are alerted right away, etc), or if there is a chat option... b/c I gotta figure these few things out before I discuss the pain specialist and "plan of action" changes w/my neurologist tomorrow. Just want to be prepared as to what to say if he throws his ideas of "options" that don't sound right, but aren't sounding wrong per se either... (for example, he has mentioned nerve blocks in the past, but as a future thing, but hasn't said who would do them, and has never mentioned me seeing a pain management specialist as part of my care team, which worries me...

I'm sorry to keep on hitting you with questions, but you are so darn smart, I'd be a fool not to! I can't tell you how much you have raised my spirits and turned this whole thing around for me. I'm so grateful to have been able to connect with you.. I was so scared when I was dx that I was going to be alone in this, and knowing now that there is someone out there who understands what I'm going through, and is willing to listen to my whining and cries of helplessness, is both a relief and the best gift I could have ever hoped for. Okay, so there's the lack of sleep, sappy-ness talking, or should I say, the rsd talking. So maybe I don't have to apologize for that sort of thing anymore..? lol always looking for the silver linings!
