Thanks, Sarah. Honestly, it helps so much to know that people understand what I'm talking about - I've been starting to feel like I'm just making it up even though I know that I'm not! It doesn't help that friends/family constantly ask me what the timeline for full recovery is...

I was starting to think about an oseteopath while reading the forum. I made an appointment for one on Thursday (luckily our student health center has one and she had availability so soon). Have you found it to be helpful? I've never heard of cranial sacral therapy before, but I'l certainly bring it up if she doesn't. Thank you!

I don't think much has changed since the neuro appointment, other than that the nortryptiline, as promised, doesn't leave me drowsy/dizzy in the morning. It does seem to have a different side effect, as I occasionally get a weird muscle spasm/stutter on the right side of my lower lip while speaking - definitely not something I've had before. I might be able to move the appointment up by a week or so.

I did have one completely symptom-free day last week, which I hadn't experienced in months (I had 2 or 3 in November), so that might count as improvement?
