I have been so inspired by Catra that I too am pondering a return to work!!!!!! I don't know how yet but each week more miserable symptoms cease. When I hear newly diagnosed folks make post after post asking for help with each new symptom, and my own symptoms are leaving I know I should be happy with my progress due to tDCS. I am happy but not content.

My doc is willing to release me if I can reverse the balance problems caused by the spinal cord stimulator. I am now spending lots of time without my cane. Each week my balance improves. I am also working hard on my lower body strength now that the atrophy is totally gone. My once useless hand which had a severe spread due to the spinal cord stimulator is now 100% BACK TO NORMAL. (And to think that a popular treatment protocol for spreads induced by spinal cord stimulators is to install another stimulator!) Where would I be now if I had done that? When I look at my wrists now I have to think about it for a second to remember which hand was hopelessly painful and atrophied.

At this rate I am thinking about returning to work in the fall.

I am planning to be right behind you Catra! Please let us know how your meeting with you employer went today.
