April, I'm happy to have given you a sense of new direction. Hopefully your PCP is receptive to learning along with you and embraces thinking outside the box. Best of luck at your visit this week! It's a great place to start understanding the why behind the what and working with your PCP. Please keep me posted on how all goes. And by all means, stay hopeful.

PS: If interested, poke around my profile and conversations where you'll learn more about my CSS experience and time spent at Mayo's Pain Rehab Center in FL. Getting a proper diagnosis after several years and going through that 3 week program was life-changing for me. I'd be happy to help further if you have any questions but I don't want to overwhelm you with too much info right now.
