I understand, I live in NY, and flew to Florida for the 3 week program. It took preparation and strategic planning. I'm on Medicare and had to switch my plan in order to have out of network coverage, plus I had to figure out meal, hotel, and travel expense. It's a big undertaking. Not everyone is able to swing it, but I will tell you that if at all possible, it is an amazing, life changing program. I always felt that even people who weren't in chronic pain would benefit from the experience.

You can apply right through the PRC link I attached earlier, with no real strings attached, but it will get you started and get you in the Mayo system. Or your Dr. can refer you. Mayo does offer financial assistance, if qualified.

A fellow Connect member @skier, will be attending Mayo PRC this month. He may be willing to share his experience with you.

Wow, you certainly put your all into it. I am seeing an alternative medicine lady tomorrow to see what she has to offer. My neurologist wants me to do more Ketamine and infusions but after 6 years, I'm sick of it all. Not only is the headache painful but every procedure hurts. I just had open heart surgery and the doctor was sure that after the hole in my heart was repaired, I'd get relief. Not! My brother had heart surgery at the same time and his migraines went away.

Hi Rachael @rwinney;
6 days and counting until I start the PRC program in Rochester next week (August 10). I've started packing and looking forward to staying in a nice apartment near Kutzky Park within walking distance of Mayo Clinic. I finish Sept 1 and will be happy to share my experience, with the exception of a few program secrets that other graduates have kept to themselves. CANT Wait!

later,

Roger @skier
