Thank you Cindy, all of this information is really helpful, as it seems like you're going through about the same trouble I am too. Medical Marijuana isn't a legal option for me as I live in Texas, but they do have the pill forms of THC, so that may be an option for me. I have a four year old boy, so though Austin, TX is a really easy place to score MJ, I'd rather not risk the legal ramifications of being caught with it.

I know what you mean about not being mentally ready for the pump; having a machine implanted into my body just scares me. Then again, living with these spasms like they are scares me too. Oh well, I can't get wrapped up in what might be; I should only focus on what is.

My pain management doctor was actually quite adept at helping me with the ADA form for my employer. The biggest accomodation they suggested was that they be flexible in allowing me to work from home (which I've been doing since November) as the onset of symptoms is so unpredictable as you said.

Thanks for the links to the sites, I will check them out now!

Though I hate to know you are going through this, it comforts me to know that you are there to help show me the way.

Happy Holidays, Cheers and Thank You,

Charley
