I'm sorry to hear that you are not having success Hampster and that you are frustrated with Dr. Fugedy. How many protocols have you tried so far? I think of you and Deb often and I wish that you both had gotten some relief with tdcs. While most of my relief has not been with the pain portion (though the reduction in sensitivity in my hands and arms is something I am SO grateful for), I can confidently say that the other things which tdcs has helped with have contributed greatly to better quality of life and make it so much eaiser for me to get through the day to day stuff. I will keep praying that you and deb both find something that can help you.

Well...tomorrow is the big day...I will be on my way to Disney World in 24 hours. At this time tomorrow I will be on an airplane headed to Orlando. I am still very anxious about dealing with the airport and the plane ride...but arriving at the airport 2 hours before my flight should give me all the time I need to get through it all without too much stress. Excited and anxious...it's quite the combination. I asked for today off work and the request was granted so I have all day to double check to make sure I have all my meds, my "flare kit", tens unit, cane, proper clothing, etc. I put in 72 hours of work from Saturday to Thursday...and I am so tired and hurting...I think I will need the entire day to get moving. Good news though...weather is planned to be highs in the mid 80s, lows in the upper 60s, and no rain for our entire trip. That should be a wonderful change from the temps in the 30s-50s here in chicago.

Wish me luck! I'll report back on how everything goes when I get back.
