Learning the most effective range of settings given differing circumstances has surely provided best scope of benefit from my perspective, plus the added benefit of having fully withdrawn from all pain meds [remember though, this is my experience, and may not be the result for all. Your doc will help you determine your best pain management profile].

Yup,

When it works I am blessed beyond belief and on difficult days I am still blessed because I am so much better than the last 5 years.
I guess that,s enough rambling.

What a wonderful group!
