I am seeing one of the two great vascular surgeons (I've never been happier to live in Denver as I am now!). The dr mailed me a report of my appt with him and I am very impressed with the details he noted. Most was accurate and he paid a lot more attention to what was going on with me than I thought. In the report, he once again stated that although I have TOS, this is not a typical case. I do plan on talking to my primary about seeing the other surgeon -- can't hurt.

Unfortunately, my left leg and foot went numb last night for several hours. I was not happy about this! I know that TOS has nothing to do with my leg, or my face going numb. Bummer. I think I was happier being in denial.

Thanks again to everyone. I'm still amazed at how supportive people are on this site. It helps to know I'm not alone.
