Hi. Yes, I did. Mayo PRC helped me to lessen my nerve pain by removing opiates, teaching me how to become more physically active, and how to calm my nervous system down through proper breathing, mindfulness and distraction.

I continue to have nerve pain, hence the title of chronic verses acute, however I now have many tools to manage my chronic issues and not let them get the best of me.

Are you considering the rehab clinic?

Hi @rwinney Removing opiates is a huge step. Congratulations. I was asking for my husband. He's the one who suffers from the nerve pain and he's done quite well managing it overall using distraction making music, walking, acupuncture, meditation. However, lately often it seems like he could use a little extra support. Mayo is an hour drive from our home so I'm not sure he would be willing to commit 3 weeks of a daily regimen of driving there and back not knowing what to expect. I'm so happy to know that you had good results going through the program. Do you take Neurontin or Nortriptyline or any of the first line of defense drugs that neurologists offer for PN?
