It is funny that we both had the panic attacks. I am allergic to valium or I probably would have been popping them. I have never ran out of a waiting room but I can't tell you how many times I wanted to. What I have found lately is that I have trouble even keeping Dr. appts. I can't make myself go.
I have one in Denver on the 9th and I am going to make myself do this. Twist my arm, I guess. LOL Maggie, I do hope you have this block. It might just get you back to where you can work. Mine did help me a lot. I do want to say also I have had more then 3. I have had 4 before surgeries. They waited until I was asleep to do them. Good luck, Ada |

Hi Tink-r-bell....thanks so much for your reply to my question. I had the block done yesterday, so we shall see how well it works. Right now it seems not to have worked as well as I had wished. This was my first one and when I felt a panic attack coming I was ready to call it off....but I got through it. Doc told me it will take more than one. I keep looking for that miracle cure, but so far have not found it. I've fought this so long that I've retrained myself and am becoming left handed now....I'm not holding out any false hope that the nerve blocks are going to make a big difference. I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that the pain is going to be there forever, so I've learned to compromise and do so many things differently now....my handwriting with my left hand is still now exactly wonderful, but it's legible and it'll get better.
Have a wonderful day Maggie Quote:

Sorry, I read that first reply to me. You had already had the block. They do like to do a series of them. Mine did help me but I went through almost 4 years of PT and also get triggerpoint injections when needed.
Don't reside yourself to thinking you will not get better. It can be done. I was so bad off that several people thought I was going to die. I actually had to sign a living will for my Dr. but with the right help, you can get better and you will. Ny right hand and arm is the worst. I have had 5 surgeries on that side but I can use it now. My fingers still spasm up at times and the weather changing sets me off but I can use that arm and hand. It wouldn't even do for me to try to use my left hand to write. My left hand won't do anything my brain tells it to. LOL Seems like we all deal with panic attacks don't we? Ada |

I'll definately cross my fingers (on my good hand) for ya & hope that the blocks work. This is my last shot at the block before we move on to the spinal stim. (I really am on the fence about that one
 )
