Hon, we live in a world where many people are narcissistic, self absorbed, and just plain "it's all about them". They don't get it.

We get it. You are now in a place of fellow human beings who walk in each other's shoes and know a thing or two about pain.

As a matter of fact, I just came home from a neuropathy support group meeting and we had a pain management specialist. He did a demonstration and lecture on the Spinal Cord Stimulator and he spoke about the next step if that doesn't work. A pump that uses a catheter in the spinal fluid. Never knew about that one. It pumps pain meds directly into the spinal fluid and because of how it's done, a person needs less pain meds so they have less side effects.

I learned lots from tonight's meeting.

So here's hoping that if you get to see a pain management specialist, he just might be able to suggest a thing or two.

Take care

Melody
