Hi Sandy
I’m happy to read you have found some relief. My stroke was in 2018, also
in thalamus , but ischemic
The same pain you describe
started about six months post stroke and has never lessened. Tried everything
my wonderful neurologist
Could think of ( including your med) to no avail
Also done acupuncture,
Medical marijuana, seen
pain management specialists .. no results.. not even slightest change
So frustrating My oncologist, who treats me for my PV which caused my stroke, has no idea what to do and my wonderful
rheumatologist who treats my osteoporosis, is always trying to find help for me
I’m almost 78; so I guess I’m lucky it didn’t happen when I was younger and affect
my life with my family then
Bless you and I wish you well
