What you said is so true. It is hard to come to face what ever disease that has us. So many here find this site because they are at a loss as to what to do about it. Learning to live with these horrible conditions is the greatest challenge of all. I don't do very well with it eithor. I have degenerative joint, and disk disease. Several fusions later, and with narcotics, I have somewhat of a life. I don't do the things I use to do eithor, and it hurts. I was super active with a business and traveled all over the country. Now I am at home on medicare and medicade. It all stinks. I am sorry you have TOS. I can tell you I care about you and I understand you pain. I come here often to neuro talk, to comfort and be comforted. I need the people here no question about that. I wish you all the best . ginnie
