Thanks for the news about medicine.
I'm new - just diagnosed this past Tuesday by my PCP .

I'm trying to learn as fast as I can. I'm stunned, and have asked myself why did I get this?.

I've had sleep apnea for 20 years now, and use a bipap machine.
Also, I've had allergies that require me to get a weekly shot.

I don't deserve another disease! whose name I never heard of, and is fairly rare - I think about 180,000 in the U.S. have tic douloureux.

Now I'm trying to find a specialist in my area (of SW Virginia)
