After 10 years many days pain free
Hi everyone sorry I have not written in so long
As some of u know I was becoming more and more depresses . Three years after the coma treatment in Germany failed, not to mention I almost died,
I tried every clinical trial there was my last med routine was
3 OPANA a day 40mg
5 OxyCodone
Baclofen
Etcetera some 12 additional scripts.
I almost gave up last December almost a year ago to today I just did not want to be on this planet anymore
Because of losing my house and spouse (kinda of rhymes!like a country western)
I decided to take a good look at the pump, Medtronic infusion pump not Stimulator
Against all my doctors wishes including a big no from Philadelphia I went ahead and on January 5 had the surgery
It's a long story between then and now however I have gone from 7 days a week at level 8- level 10 pain for at least 15 hours per day ; all the way down to a pain level of "0" for almost all day.
If I overdo and flare it never goes all the way up, usually not higher than a 5.
If I rest it comes down easily,
For those suffering at the level I was with full body at those levels of both pain and those amounts of narcotics I want u to know u do have an option.
I'll share more soon. God Bless cz
