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?

Yes, I've remained on Pregabalin (Lyrica).

PRC is a commitment. I'm from NY so I stayed at the hotel across from Mayo for 3 weeks. Others commuted if close enough or stayed at a hotel during the week and drive home on weekends.
