Hi Kevin, I'm so glad you wrote. We need you to stay in contact so that we know how you're doing. I'm very sorry to hear about your mom. I can't even imagine what you went through. I'm glad that she is doing better. And what's up with your neurologist??? Please don't give up on getting some pain meds. I don't understand this. Do you live in an area where there are many doctors or are you in a smaller community. There's just no excuse for this and it makes me mad (can you tell?) Please don't give up, Kevin. There is help available. Keep in touch

My hands have gotten very bad with numbness and pain. Last month my Mom collapsed in front of me and I had to give her CPR. She revived and spent a month in a nursing home and is home now doing better. The trauma of all this has affected my health negatively. I am just thankful I was able to get to her in time. This has been a fear of mine for a long time. I have given up on getting help for myself. I’ve had so many negative experiences with doctors..the neurologists refuse to give me anything for pain. They want me to have a nerve biopsy, which I have read will cause numbness in that area, and I don’t need any more numbness. I asked Senator Lieberman if he could get some funding to the NIH for TM research and he promised me he would try. He has helped me personally with other issues, so we’ll see. Wishing you all the best. Kevin
