That last post was last week's news.

I just got a call from Fabien Bitan. He was on a long drive, so I could take my time and lay out the particulars of my case, the investigation we've done, the ablations, discography, etc... all in great detail.

I was not expecting anything new... I've discussed this with so many doctors. I was shocked with the simplicity of his reply:

"Why don't you try an epidural injection?"

He's had great success with thoracic epicurals and accupuncture with electrical stimulation. I don't know anything about the accupuncture, but will start to look into it. I'll also start working on the ESI right away.
