Hi everyone,
My name is Kathy. I have TOS/and am diabetic. Inoperable Drs. say. I'm in severe pain daily. Neurotic TOS. I have not worked since Sept. 2014. In and out of the hospital 5 times since October 2014. Can't hold a pen any longer or use a keyboard! Just wanted to say hi at this time. I filed for disability a few wks ago. Waiting to hear if I'm a candidate. So; HI! |

Hi Kathy, I have read that diabetics have a higher rate of TOS. I am so sorry that you find yourself with this condition. I understand the pain. The never ending monster chewing you up. I have one too.
I don't know that I have any advice that would help...all I can say is I understand. Sucks for both of us huh? |

Hi, Kathy. You are from Maryland?? Have you seen Dr. Donahue at Boston MGH? He took my case after several other surgeons turned me away.
