Hi everyone! Just wanted to post some exciting news...I was able to schedule my DRG Stimulation trial for November 14th! Of course...that's 3 days before my daughter's second birthday...but I didn't want to put it off any later as I am very anxious to get this process started and get everything done as soon as possible. I know from experience that I shouldn't get my hopes up too high...but now that I have made the decision to move forward with this treatment I am feeling very positive and optimistic about it. This won't solve all the issues and it won't get me to "pain free"...but there is a good chance my pain levels could be cut in half...at least cut in half and possibly more. That would be life changing!

There's still a chance I guess that my regular insurance may deny it...and that's really the only thing that could delay this at all...but hopefully since the doctor's office has the denial from work comp on file that won't be an issue.

At any rate...I am very excited and I plan to share as much as I can about this journey with all of you in the hopes that it may help someone out in the future as well...especially since it is a pretty new procedure and it is hard to find information about it beyond the initial study which led to its being approved by the FDA to treat CRPS in the US.
