Thanks for sharing your story, Moxie!

Live in CA, but have family I can stay with in MA, so if Dr. Donahue is so wonderful maybe I'll try to get in with him.

According to the doc I saw today, I have arterial, venous, & neurogenic TOS. I'd previously been diagnosed as just venous and neurogenic (I've had it for 10 years), but he said it's definitely arterial as well -- he showed us how my pulse stops and my veins pop up in certain positions. Apparently the only question is whether the level of compression and the pain/quality of life problems I have warrant surgery.

How long did it take to get on his surgery schedule? How long to get in for the initial consult?
