That's great news Samson. Good for you! From what you describe you've been through, you sound like a probable candidate for the PRC. FYI - I used to have that same list, in a spiral notebook, and kept adding to it until one day I said, this is enough, if I don't make change, change is never going to happen.

A few signs to know you are ready for Mayo's 3 week Pain Rehabilitation program:

1. treatments are faltering and becoming less effective
2. emotional distress
3. physical deconditioning with potential for pushing and crashing

Here's a link to the pain rehab center detailing the program and offering all 3 locations for you to contact:

- Mayo Pain Rehabilitation Center - Overview -

The staff at Mayo is extremely helpful. They will answer your insurance questions and any and all concerns.

I think the following discussion about the PRC will be helpful for you to scroll through from the beginning and find helpful info and insight:

As @tallyteresa mentioned earlier, the PRC gave her her life back. I second that statement, and I bet @ldb would, too. Here is proof of that in his own words from the thread -Mayo Clinic Pain Rehab Center (PRC) - What's Your Experience?

Samson, you will have support from Connect and a wealth of knowledge and experience. I encourage you to self-advocate and try. I know it's scary, but you owe it to yourself to at least see if it can happen. Will you keep me posted on your progress?
