Good morning everyone-

I have good news to share! Today I'm feeling hopeful because I applied for the Jacksonville Mayo Clinic 3 week pain rehabilitation program.

There have been some worthy posts that peeked my interest but, I wasnt ready to commit. Yesterday, and lately, I've been feeling extremely hopeless. When that happens the moment has to hit me, and I will search very hard for hope.

I watched the video on Mayo's site explaining Central Sensitization and saw my exact blueprint from eyes to head to neuropathy to irregulation, pain and torment. It was indeed an emotional validation of my entire bodies dysfunction and debilitation. I strongly recommend watching if you are looking to think out of the box.

My concern over cost and ability hold me back alot in this life. It's just my nature. Truth is, as my husband reassures me, I am very fortunate to have an incredible support system from my family.

So, Y O L O....you only live once.
And for the record, this is NOT living!

I will remain optimistic that my insurance is accepted and I am accepted. We (my family and I) can cover added expense and I can will myself to physically make it happen.

I will not settle, can not settle and today I hope I have provided inspiration to anyone who is able or willing to think and feel the same.

Be well-
Rachel
