Happy Thanksgiving to everyone

I have much to be grateful for ..

My first IV infusion of Lidocaine on the 10th gave me roughly 9 days of decreased pain from a 7 to a 5..

On Tuesday I had my second Infusion.. My pain went down to a 3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is best I have felt since Fibro exploded my life.

The Doctor that runs my pain clinic is the only Doctor in the state of Tennessee that is offering this treatment. They also do Ketamine infusions, which can offer some people even longer lasting relief. They start first with Lidocaine as the infusion is quick ,1 hour. Ketamine is 4 + hours and there can be some odd side effects during infusion.

The " Lidocaine infusion's just might give me back more of my life with less pain... So far I am getting great results.

Gentle hugs to everyone
