ballerina, we've resumed tDCS, but just once a day for most of the past 4 days. Despite using excedrin, she's still getting headaches with the motor cortex/secondary somatosensory cortex position, though they are a little less severe. We might pick up the pace soon, hoping to see some benefit.

A week ago, my wife had a trial injection of bupivicaine (actually, four injections at each of the S1-S4 nerve roots) to see whether neurolysis would be beneficial. Unfortunately, she had limited benefit (pain went from 9 to 6 during the 4-hour window of relief), and the injections actually made her pain worse in terms of both extent and intensity. Neurolysis is now off the table.

I think we're headed toward ECT again, if she will follow through with it. Things are very rough right now.

Thank you for sharing your update. Wonderful news!!!
