@rwinney I've never heard about the lidocaine infusion. I use it as a cream, which of course is temporary. I'm going to Google it and speak with my doctor about it next week.
You say you're on six weeks. Will you need to have the infusion weekly indefinitely?

Hi Jim
Definitely check it out. Tuesday will be my 12th weekly visit. I am meeting with my neurologist in 2 weeks to discuss whether another increase is necessary. At that time I will ask questions about the frequency. My Dr. never likes to go farther than the moment as there are so many variables with this disease, from patient to patient. The one thing I have been made to learn is that my life is now forcibly lived one day at a time. I believe (via the internet) that infusions may be given on a variety of intervals based on need. I will be curious to find out how you make out once speaking with your neurologist. Good luck!
