Well I always try to have hope. The human body is pretty complex and I think that in the future things will get better as more is figured out. So yes, I'm hopeful about it.

I agree with Kansass.... Who would have thought 40 years ago, that a spinal cord stimulator could be created to help people like us to curve some of our pain, and what about the intrathecal pain pump? That is another absolutely wonderful invention that gives people in chronic and intractable pain relief and hope.
We have to believe that scientists and researchers will keep on advancing and creating new devices, medications and procedures to keep people like us going............. So like my friend Kansass said; "Yes, I am hopeful about it!"

I have hope.
Nothing stays the same and something good is just around the corner.

There are always breakthroughs. Not with meds as fast as surgical devices. The FDA makes the process very long and expensive for the drug companies. Europe approves meds faster than we.

There can never be a pill that takes away all the pain that I would want to take. Pain is a symptom something is wrong as we know. But I don't want to miss new aches and pains, like kidney infections and such by not feeling anything.

Never give up.

my dream would be a non additive pain pill that is just as strong as morphine.
