In reply to @rwinney….thanks so much for this information! I’ve been debating requesting participating in the 3 week program for about a year now. I had been accepted in 2019, but broke my foot which caused me to lose the opportunity as I couldn’t participate in the exercise portion. Fast forward to now and my last surgery on my foot was 3/21 and I can now sustain even 45-60 minutes of walking, so I could do the program again (finally). However, I take one medication they wanted to wean me off of when I was originally approved and I have no interest in doing this as I am finally getting good rest (I saw a sleep specialist which was a recommendation from my fibromyalgia doctor at Mayo after being diagnosed in 2017).
Thus, I am conflicted regarding the one medication but would like to continue to learn more positive ways to manage my chronic pain issues (fibromyalgia, chronic migraines, arthritis, and the residual effects of my foot). I live about six hours north of the Rochester campus
