So far I am very happy with how this is working. Of course we need to continue to tweak the medications but, I can really see how my life could be greatly improved by using this versus some of the other things I have tried. Good luck to ya, Tessa |

I am so glad your getting some relief! Hmm this makes me think about going and seeing a PM dr. I have CRPS type II from 2 very botched surgeries and the issues we have always found is that I not only have the CRPS, But I also have major damage from the surgeries, so they haven't ever been able to come up with any solutions because if its not 1 issue its another. Where this treatment your trying seems that maybe it could help both my problems.

Hello All,
I am so frickn' excited!! I have been absolutely pain free in my right leg for 26 hours and only very minimal pain in the areas of spread. It seems so hard to believe that just over 24 hours ago- I was in total agony, begging for anything that would knock me out and rid me of the pain. And now... I'm nearly running the hall ways!! I am just ecstatic right now. Shout from the roof top excited. Honestly, this is so doable!! Thanks All - I really appreciate it! |

Good to hear of these results. Keep posting as to what happens. You offer more hope to people who have this condition. I know many are watching and listening to you right now, praying that this works for you, so that they too many have a chance to try this. Thank you for being so brave. ginnie

I've been wanting to write so much more but, I'm afraid with the pain being gone and a little medication on board that I am sleeping often. Yes, that alone is so refreshing! I slept 7 full hours and not once was I awoken from pain.. it is almost unreal. haha.. I feel like I need to pinch myself just to make sure I'm not dreaming! I do believe 100% that this form of therapy could help a lot of us. In short the only thing that I would say is difficult is getting through the initial epidural bolus(s) that are needed to get on top of the pain and to determine how much is needed. It looks like I will be here until Monday or Tuesday but so far this is amazing! |
