The side effects are slowly abating and not stabilized yet (unbalance, hearing, etc).
Should it ever have the gall to resurface, I'm right behind you in going thru it again. It's like a new lease on life. Oh, wait, it is a new life. 
Let me know how you're doing! |
Hello! I just made a appointment with Dr Horowitz at UPMC For this Tuesday. I have been suffering with this excruciating ear, throat, and neck pain for 12 years and am ready to try surgery. Sounds like I have Geniculate Neuralgia per the phone conversation, but have been treated for glossalpharengeal neuralgia for years...plus the years I was treated for a sore throat and everything else...so frustrating. Anyway I am terrified, but can't live like this. I actually have attacks where I look like a salivating, gagging, insane troll. Wish me luck!
