sooooo long @Martin2019 i never realised it was that intense - in that case i hope the cocktail of jabs works for me.

I had the jabs last year and unfortunately no joy from them at all I also suffer massive spazams too and again the high level of drugs I was on made me suicidal so had to reduce them and I now have the spazams back yep it is a really long drawn-out time frame but they don't give it to everyone you have to meet a strict guideline to be put forward for it.

Stuntman1965 said:Hi Sara, the process of appointments is very slow you have a suitability appt then go for interview with the consultant then the pain clinic nurse specialist and a psychological therapist. Don't be put off by all this I had mine done in Leeds n I live in North lincs, the benefits outweigh the negatives but it did take almost a year to finally get done mainly due to the covid situation, hope this helps
