Thanks @rav3n
I’m actually looking forward to the week in hospital in December. My GP has explained how the medication in the infusion interacts with the human body, gave me lots of insight into the possible side effects. She also said keeping as positive as possible before and during the week has been found to be an advantage.
few months away yet in my mind I’ve almost finished packing my suitcase and tote bag that I’m taking 🤣
downside of timing, I don’t expect to be able to have radio frequency spinal nerve block done until early next year. I’ve been dealing with lower back pain and pain similar to sciatica off and on for last 3 to 4 years, what’s another 6 months ….

@Former-Member hahah packing is way better and faster in our minds 😆 at least you're almost mentally prepared hehe.
oo yes, i've heard a lot about how staying optimistic can be helpful in treatment/recovery, i hope it helps for you too. sucks that the radio frequency treatment needs to be pushed back, maybe there's a slight possibility that the infusion might help make the nerve pain a tiny bit more manageable? (or at least i'm hoping so!)

Hello @Former-Member sounds like a lot of planning with 3 or more procedures in store.
Hello @tyme
Not a good day, I sought help from a solicitor about current and long-standing issues and triggered an avalanche. Not sure where it will end up. Had to cancel my upcoming medical investigation as part of the fallout.
