I just faxed in my request for an appointment. I live in the area and suddenly my pain is getting so bad I can hardly stand it. I am quietly moaning and crying in my cube. I am upping my own meds and taking Tylenol and Ibu every 3 hours (trading off) to supplement. I am still in pain almost all the time. I just can't do this!! I have an appointment tomorrow with my Neurologist, but don't know what else she can do. More drugs I guess. The more I read, the more I want the MVD. ---

Please don’t hesitate to have an MVD, I would recommend it to anyone… I had mine done 2 years ago, unfortunately for me it didn’t work, but I am pain free for longer periods instead of 24/7. Please re-think upping your meds without a doctors input, I’ve done it myself thinking it would work, but it didn’t, and you can cause damage to your liver and/or other internal organs… I see you saw your neurologist earlier in the month, how did it go, did you get any helpful info? Thinking of you, hugs Anne
