Hi sandi, I am supposed to go to an out-patient pain clinic at the Mayo clinic for 3 to 4 weeks like the one you described. They take you off your meds. and use different therapies to help you deal with chronic pain..... like, occupational, behavioral, and cognitive therapy. They teach you stress management, exercise, breathing tech. and many different ways to get through without using medicine. Let me know if you go and how it works out. I won't be able to do mine until summer..... need my older son to take care of my younger kids. I am going to hire him to babysit. That way he has money for all the fairs and stuff that go along with summer time and I don't have to hire someone I don't know to watch the kids. I hope you are doing well!!! Your friend, Chris  Post edited by: mommyofsix / Friend2U, at: 04/12/2008 02:51 Your Friend, Chris |
"MDJunction to me is a life saver... when i first was diagnosed with Scheuermann's Disease i wrote a message to a page i found on google, hoping that they could help me.... you'd never know it but that weird feeling (you know that one where it feels like someone actually cares) came over me when i opened my email next day to find that someone on the other side of the world (at the American Medical Library)had read my message while i was sleeping, and there low and behold was the address to MDJunction.... well it is everything to me, i live it breathe it and love it!!!!! I have found many people who are struggling with similar issues banding together to help each other. It is the best place in the world, and i couldn't think of another place to go to meet so many lovely people....
