Hello to all,

I met with my neurosurgeon today and the plan is for Motor Cortex Stimulation (MCS). Has anyone had any experience with this.

Thanks!

Janice

Let me know just what you find out about this procedure. It has sorta been recommended to me for Anesthesia Dolorosa. I would love to know.

If I keep busy, I can try to keep my mind off of it. I can't talk about it to anyone, I just get emotional because it always hurts. It never stops. I wear a mouth guard at night to keep me from clamping down. My gums stay sore on that side anyway. If I clamp it's unbearable in the morning. I also never know just what to eat anymore, other then soup. I love toast, but now I have to cut it in pieces. I can eat a poached egg okay. It's just really getting hard to stand anything. I will be anxious to hear from you.
