I still intend to write from time to time- as my pain allows me.
I had my first glimmer of hope today with a new Doctor. He is a pain specialist- Dr. Matthew Schocket. I actually shook his hand and told him, “Thank you for being the first doctor to give me hope". I had a hint of what the 3 upcoming procedures will be with about 8 injections into the base of my skull in attempts to block the nerve. It hurt so bad I was kicking my legs and couldn't stop. The next three are actually into the spine and require sedation. Injection in my neck and lower back and they could the doctor thinks with how bad I am that it will probably take 3 in each spot.
I start a new preventative medication tomorrow. After trying every single one on the market I hope this one will be the one to work.
Did I mention that I have a huge bulging disc to go along with the fracture I have?
L4 has a chip off the corner of it and L5 disc is bulging out pretty far- doctor said it was fairly visible on 6 different views of the MRI.
Back is saying it's time to go for now.
On a Happy note, I heard from a friend today that I hadn't in a while! /HUGS Richard

I have missed our grouping in EQ. I have been checking back at your old webpage every week in hopes to catch up to you. I had almost given up hope till I Googled you and this came up.
Toss me your e-mail address at darinthal@hotmail.com and I vow not to lose touch again.
Still checking back here for any updates. Hope you are feeling better.
