I'm a medical professional also. Thanks! It's neither a simple, nor extraordinarily safe procedure. It's actually quite invasive, w possibly negative side effects. I've seen people faint and we had to catch them, w the needle still in. It takes a very experienced Practitioner to administer one. Both my other doctors nixed it as too invasive, and after reviewing my MRI some more and discussing it, my neurologist said we could skip it for now. But I really appreciate your input. Be well!
