Tonia you had the block already???????

June 26, 2004

Tonia did you have the sympathetic block done already? I was think it was not until this next week or so. When did you have it and will they do some more? It took 5 of them in a row for me to get relief I needed and when gets into a flare it takes 3 for her to get the relief on top of some extra pain meds. So hope the heck they don't do one and leave it at that. But that is all due to fact that where lives and where I live is not common to do one and leave you if you have any positive outcome from the first block.

So Jo or Felice or anyone else that might know, Tonia is there any other types of treatments in case after more block that would help you? Would they put in the SCS next? You would need two of them wouldn't you, for your arm and belly/leg area? Know that if that is accuarate sounds and is a big deal and scary as heck but you know that it would certainly be worth thinking seriously about for pain relief. Sure would not tell you to for sure have it just tell you how could not function without hers. Know there are others it has failed but this is one that certainly if brought to you to think about is close to being worth a possible try.

Anyway, how are kids doing my friend. How is your hubby doing and what is going on about maybe getting some SSD or SSI, do not know about either one as even though Permantly totally disabled cannot get any help that I know of. Do not have enough work hours and Russ makes to much money. Of course to much money does not take into account what one would pay without insurance. Let me know about you and family when able okay?! Sending many hugs my friend.

JoAnn,

I go tomorrow to have my block.

I was supposed to have had it last week, but my doc was already overbooked.....so, I had to wait until this week instead.

Which, is a good thing.....because the top of my foot is KILLING ME!!!

I just wish I could get one for the upper half at the same time......
