Following a supposed routine nasal septoplasty, eleven days into recovery I was stricken with severe headache and nausea. After eleven neurologists, attending Michigan Headpain/Neurological Institute, Tufts University, Mayo Clinic there was never a diagnosis. Nine nerve blocks, wire inserted in my face beneath the skin connected to a modulation device for eleven days which failed, Frequency Specific Microcurrent for 18 months, and now at last a candidate for MCS. I'm 67 years old, athletic, otherwise healthy. Now I'm waiting for approval at St. Jude's Hospital in Cheyenne, WY to go forward with a five day trial in order to achieve hopeful results so the device can be permanently implanted. Reading that there is a 50% chance of improvement is what I am hanging onto. Frustrated that I am so intolerant of the dozens of meds I have tried, Alprazolam gives me the chance to sleep but little else. How does that compare to any or all of you?

With gratitude, Dan
