@gingerw It has been and continues to be. It is the treatments which intensifies the already existing issues. I am currently blase about things. Pain specialist this morning. I have put the rhizotomy on hold for now as trying to handle more than one thing at a time has not worked well for me in the past. The pain is some better in warmer weather. I also have an appointment with new primary and know I will need to keep my tongue bridled. That is this afternoon. Keep telling myself to have a positive attitude that this one chosen by other primary was in my best interest. I don't really believe thus but it sounds like a goal. The pain specialist is a safe person and this helps. He knows my pain is real and not imagined.
