I now have good news for a change!
Firstly, my recent colonoscopy came back all clear. I need to wait for CT scan results, but this was such a weight off my mind.
I have had my first course of lidocaine infusion for pain and fatigue control. Please to report that after a couple of weeks, things are improved. I still have pain, and fatigue, but the baseline for both has been drastically reduced. It lasts different amounts of time for individuals, so I will see how long it lasts, but it could be three or four months, and I am told that if it is beneficial, I could get the treatment every six months. If you have pain issues, I strongly suggest asking to get lidocaine infusion treatment.
It has given me a new, more positive, view of life. Last year was my lowest point, I now feel renewed!
Onwards and upwards!
