Hi, Laureen,

I'm glad you are doing well! As of yesterday I have been off the meds for 3 weeks! Another week and I'll have passed the point where the pain came back after the balloon procedure. That's the point when I'll feel I can say the MVD really worked. The cold brings on a mild ache sometimes but it doesn't last. Last night I started having some pain around my eye - the eye that hurt after the balloon procedure. Not sure what that is about but I don't expect it to be a problem. I'm having sinus problems and heartburn problems, too. So I don't feel great but certainly better than when I was on the meds and still having breakthrough pain!!

I hope you continue to do well!
