Hi Renee, I'm Hank and I noticed this post of yours as I was poking around Connect this morning. I also went and read some of your previous posts from 2019. I'm sorry for your painful condition of CRPS. Also sorry about the hassles you are having getting the meds you need to give you a little bit of comfort. I noticed you and Lori @lorirenee1 talked back in 2019. If you look through your old posts you'll find your conversation with her. I have some questions:
Did you ever get around to trying kratom? If so, results?
Did you ever look into the Calmere (scrambler) therapy? If so, results?
How is your DRG stimulator working for you at this point and are you happy with it?
Lori had a DRG installed about 3 months ago or so and so far it seems it has not worked as well as hoped. Maybe you guys can compare notes. I love all of your pictures. Love your great dog! It's a shame such a seemingly idyllic life that you were living had to be so badly messed up by something as seemingly innocuous as knee surgery. I'll tell you, with all the people getting things such as CRPS and neuropathy from surgery these days it is making me very reticent to have surgery ever!
Best to you, Hank
@faithwalker007 what are the CDC Opiod Guidelines? Sorry to hear how awfully the medical system failed you.
