So today was the 2nd part of the psychological evaluation for the Dorsal Root Ganglion Spinal Cord Stimulator to treat my CRPS/RSD in my right foot and leg. My doctor was very nice. I can understand the very in-depth written exam on my pain and how it effects my life, that I completed about a… Continue reading Spinal Cord Stimulator, on the way! (Maybe.)
Chronic illness symptoms can get you at anytime. I was all prepared to do my DIY Christmas present projects, plus more DIY laundry detergent and DIY toothpaste. I had to run to the store for some last minute gifts for my dad, as I got my mom more than my dad. Which is usually what… Continue reading Merry Christmas Eve, I am ill.
Today is Day 4 of the CBD oil Guinea Pig trial. I am also being put on propanolol to see if it helps with my Complex-PTSD. I just got home from my 4 month check-up with my family doctor. I like her. I've been going to her since about 1994, after the doctor that… Continue reading I’m a Guinea Pig
