@nanacarol13 Hi there. Yes, I graduated the PRC coming up on 6 years the end of the month. Best thing I ever did for myself because it gave me a blueprint of how to live with the cards I've been dealt.

You are absolutely right it is a huge commitment both time and money and only you know if it's worth it. I guess it's about how desperate are you to help yourself have better quality of life? It's a big commitment one that you really have to buy into and be open-minded about learning new ways of coping, strategizing and understanding that physical fitness is a must. Cognitive behavioral therapy was a huge part of the program and for me was very eye-opening in a good way . The program moderates and although it's not designed specifically to each person, each person's levels are taken into consideration for the overall picture. If you have no meds to get off then you're that much farther ahead of the game! Good for you.

What are your thoughts? Does the program intimidate you based on the structure of it or do you think it's just not enough bang for the buck?

@rwinney When I looked at the program, it seems to be a lot of group lectures. Only one talk dealt with CSS. It could be too general.
The Mayo zoom call just talked about the general program. We were discouraged from asking about our specific challenges.
