I'm on 75mg Duragesic (fentanyl patch, Gabapentin 3600MG/day, Mexiletine 1200MG/day and ramping up on Cymbalta to 60MG/day.<...

Good points everyone, and good luck Nothinstoppingmenow.

Lizzy,
I've been corresponding with some sci folks about the Dr. Huang operation going on in Beijing and one guy who had been a complete quad for 28 years got some sensation and wigglng of toes, so I'm just suggesting don't write off your body's ability to heal however latent.

Hey N,

I would just note that because you are young, you might want to hold on to it just because there most certainly will be some sort of stem cell based rejuvination before you are 30.

I realise you don't sue as much as us Yanks, but it sounds like you have grounds for a malpractise suit if there ever was one!
