Hey there- @chelle2001. Given all you've just expressed, you seem to have a pretty solid handle on understanding CSS and what your best path forward is. Recognizing that can be the first step. Good for you!

Regarding the past 5 years of your treatments, you're right Doctors have their lanes of specialized knowledge. Most times they do the best they can with what they have, know or are willing to expand upon.

I also experienced hyperalgesia which is when pain is intensified by medications, mainly opioids, and causes an adverse reaction. It took a while to come to grips with that one.

Please remain persistent with PRC as you are doing. Express all that you have here to me on Connect and stay in communication with them. Perhaps emailing a follow up with your thoughts, wishes and intent in addition to phone conversation will be helpful.

Stay diligent and keep the faith. Please let me know how things progress. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Thank you, @rwinney! I appreciate that and I appreciate you! Blessings, Michelle

@rwinney, I found out last week that I got into the PRC program!! They decided to change their mind on their initial decision. I will be going to the Rochester, MN location and will begin the program on November 29th. (This Texan has gotten get ready for some major cold!! brrr) Would you mind sharing your best advice with me? I'm excited and also a little scared but trying really hard not to let fear get the best of me. But I do want to mentally prepare myself. What should I expect going into it and what will help me going through it? I know you talked about going into it with an open mind and also what you get from it will be what you put into it. Anything else that will be helpful?
