I have been one big mess since I had the scs trial removed several weeks ago. It's a Fibro flair. This happens whenever my body perceives that it has been violated in some form. It's so darn crazy when you stop and remember that the trial eliminated ALL of the neuropathy. I was shocked at the degree of success. Not that I was feeling negative but who expected total relief?

The flair started two days after the trial started and I wasn't surprised. I have been layed up for several months after surgeries. Now I am concerned about going through with the implant. I know it is far more aggressive than the trial. Per my extensive history, I will have a big flair. I just don't know how long it will last. I have discussed this with Pain Man and he agrees that it will most likely happen but will be worth it once it is over. Intellectually, I agree. Emotionally, I am not prepared to go through a giant flair. I'm not a kid anymore and not as tough as I was 25 years ago. Living alone makes it even harder. Thanks for listening.
