Well I'm feeling hopeful yet scared. I'm going to the cleveland clinic right now its not till Aug 7 but she said probably will be earlier because they almost always get cancels to there pain clinic. Its 5 days a week for 3-5 weeks. I have to go to the assesment but if accepted which she said since I have had every test,tried many meds,pt with no relief and still have most days in bed will be accepted. I'm nervous but feel hopefull that they can help me get the tools to get back to life and learn how to manage the pain with therapies/treatments/better non narcotic meds. I have been fearful in the past because most are just a day and then they send you home and I get worse where the vicadin and other meds doesn't relieve the pain. So this is daily and for awhile to be able to follow up on me. I want to live my life and am sick of this living in my bed and on a good day doing errands.I try to push on my own and do random errands now but the cycle I'm in of the extreme pain and having been in bed most of the days for the 5 months or maybe more now is making it so hard.Also that all my docs here and treatment are not moving forward at all. It seems worse then when began all of this. So I will keep you updated and pray they get an earlier opening.

Great news...keeping fingers crossed that you are accepted. Hope you feel better soon!

Yeah, Daniella:

I wish you the best. Hope you feel better.

Love, Melody

Daniella,
That's really good news - I hope your assessment & acceptance into the CC pain clinic is a mere formality and that they will be able to give you some relief. I contacted them some time ago when I was first struggling w/ a diagnosis and found their people were very helpful and concerned - they responded promptly w/forms and information. Ultimately and fortunately, I found an excellent neuro @ UPenn so I didn't need to go to the CC but I've kept the info just in case.
The very best to you.

Daniella,
I'm so hoping this helps you. Hopes and prayers go with you.

Thank you so much. The lady said since I have had like every test and tried everything I should be admitted on that day so I'm hoping she is right and thats how they set the apt that after the intake to start. I'm real nervous but hopeful. I can't imagine how hard it will be getting through the full days there. The lady explained the first days are ruff but the support and treatment therapies help so much and after a few days people even feel its easier. Like just now I did a few errands and am really in the worst pain with viadin again and I know will pay for days just from doing more errands. I just hope they can get me in sooner and they said they will try real hard. I'm going to call every few days too. I just need to get through these days and am trying to push more but the pain in my leg is excrutiating but the rest of my self feels so much better when up.Your all so wonderful and thank you. I will let you know.
