Good evening, @calliopy2, Welcome to Connect. I am sorry you find yourself ineligible for service at Loma Linda because of your location and level of financial support. Having lived near there for 20 years, I understand those frustrations.
Are you aware that clinicians and other providers at Mayo Clinic have a network that enables staff in another hospital to collaborate with teams at Mayo Clinic? Would that help your situation? What services do you need and/or what health situation are you facing right now?
Do you work with providers at a Pain Clinic?
I sort of chuckled at your age validation. I loved my mom and she was a beautiful woman. However, she aged like everyone else. Now I see more of her when I catch a reflection of myself today at 77.
When you mention that you have no support, what does that mean? What are your needs? Connect is a wonderful community with a mission of improving the quality of life of patients, caregivers, and families. We do need to know a bit more about the reason for your post.
Be safe and protected.

I live alone. Have a son in Nebraska. I am wheelchair dependent but do walk with 2 canes. Spinal stenosis makes the muscles week and the potential to fall scares me. I go everywhere in the chair. Peripheral neuropathy is a progression of spinal stenosis. Cant sleep because of the symptoms. I am good during the day and keep busy. Have been to 3 MD's for this problem but left their office without any help from them. I have tried CBD lotion, aspercreme, warm soaks with mag sulfate. The symptoms reduce for a few hours, but not long enough to sleep more than 3 hours. Would appreciate what others have done to reduce symptomology
