Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?
Neuropathy | Last Active: 6 days ago | Replies (2916)Comment receiving replies
Good morning all. I'm finally scheduled for Mayo's 3 week pain rehabilitation program to begin June 18th through July 9th. I'm overwhelmed, excited, happy, scared, concerned etc...Covid has turned things upside down. Also, I am faced with anxiety simply because it will be a daunting task physically and mentally. M-F 8:30-4:30 for 3 weeks.
It's taken over a year to get to Mayo and I'm very grateful that I'm going, dont get me wrong. I know I will be in the best place possible for proper evaluation, support and encouragement. I will fall back on my tools of diaphragmatic breathing, meditation and mindfulness. I will pull up my BIG girl pants and make it happen!
Be well and I hope everyone has a manageable day. 😊

@rwinney Hi Rachel, I am so happy you are going to Mayo. I hope to God they help you! They will take everything out of their tool box to help. Let us all know what happens, and please do write from there, if you can! Love to you, Lori

Very best of luck Rachel. My wife Linda and I are VERY interested in your experience with this. We watched the video yesterday with Dr. Sletten which you had mentioned. I must admit I did not really understand some (much) of what he was talking about but I was surprised that Linda seemed to get quite a bit out of it and was enthused about it. I guess I need to see it again. Anyway, will be interested in your adventure in Fla. Wow, 8 hours/day for 3 weeks, that sounds very intense! But exciting also. Rachel, could you remind me a little about your pain situation again and where you have the worst of it. Thanks, Hank
