@rwinney Hey there! Sorry for the delay again in response...I've been physically 'down' these last two weeks recovering from my surgery, and I've been hyperfocused catching up on some of the activities I've neglected for a while i.e. language studies, seeing friends and relaxing ! 🙂 Anyways, my surgery on 12/21 was a complete success - took about 3 hours - and I've had 100% symptom relief i.e. pain/nausea/hypersensitivity for 17 days now !!! I feel like I've been given my life back and my old skin traded out for something brand new that feels good! CRAZY. I never doubted tho - everything lined up perfectly and now I'm so happy and grateful and love waking up in the morning with a new sense of joy in my life! I've still got some swelling that needs to go away, 3 months of recovery/restrictions ahead and some sporadic sickness i.e. throwing up w/o a cause, but otherwise I'm just taking it easy and slowly resuming life's activities. I start back my spring semester for school on Jan. 30, and I took one thing off my plate also, but you know me...something else will creep itself on and I'll welcome it in! LOL. Always looking forward and staying positive. Thanks for all your thoughts and support on my behalf - it really means the world to me, and I'm so grateful!!! Hope you're doing well yourself! 🙂 <3
This is really great news! I'm so happy to hear you're having success with the Boston Scientific permanent implant!! What incredible improvement to feel 100% symptom relief and hope again, like a new you who wants to wake up in the morning. @grannyzoo mentions her 90-95% relief from CRPS with her Boston Scientific implant as well. I'm tagging members like @socalfp, @drg24242 and @pdxgardener who struggle with CRPS and may be interested in your results and learning about the possibilities of an implant.
Best of luck with your continued recovery. I know you need to take things slow so I'm wishing you the patience to continue doing so without overloading. Good luck in your spring semester and please, as you are able, keep us posted now and again about your progress with the implant. Happy days of finding joy!
