Jpdy, I'm so happy you have some relief of pain. I know you were hoping for remission but there may be chances for that in the future with new meds or treatment, maybe even with changes in the Ketamine treatment.I love that you seem to be happy with the pain relief yoo have from the treatment you just had. The more positive and hopeful I am the better any treatment is for me so I know attitude can have an influence. I'm trying to get back into a walker part-time from 5 years in a wheelchair so I understand the effort you are making to get back on your feet. It sure takes more energy to use my hands/arms to walk than it took when my feet were all it took. BIG SIGH. I hate this disease. (as I say at least monthly.) I hate it for me but I hate it as much for you and everyone else whose lives have been disrupted and who fight the pain and other changesthat have changed our dreams and messed up our lives. Sending a hug and prayers that the pain relief will increase with each day. Rev Rev.

THE DISEASE FEELS LIKE IT RESIDES IN OUR HANDS/ARMS, FEET/LEGS WHEN IT LIVES IN THE DORSAL HORN Of THE SPINAL CORD AND THE BRAIN PAIN RECEPTOR CELLS. MOVE, REST, MOVE, REST, MOVE. |
