I spent a bundle of money on some of the mentioned treatment approaches. Although the ones I tried were totally ineffective for me I hope they work for others.

If you are limited due to finances you might want to consider tDCS prior to the others. It is non-invasive, very safe, cheap and has a good track record with chronic pain. I wish I had found it early on when I was first diagnosed. Given the strides I have made with it I suspect I would have had a chance at early remission. At the very least it certainly would have kept me from being maimed by the Boston Scientific Spinal Cord Stimulator that caused a debilitating spread.

For an outlay of about $300.00 you can treat yourself at home for as long as you need to.
