I have been lucky and found Ketamine infusions, spinal cord stimulator and meds keep me out of bed and at least be able to live. Still disabled but not in tears constantly and can now wear shoes and clothes. I am not in remission and mine spread foot to foot, hand to hand then in the spinal scars. fighting since 2014.🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 My brain is always foggy and I have a hard time giving direction to my kids clearly and just frustrating. This speaker was amazing!
