Hi everyone,

DiMarie-I don't know if you remember me but I was NAT in the old forums. I use to post frequently.

I don't know why I really stopped. I just felt like pain was taking a big piece of my life and I tried to put it on the back burner and not let it control me. I moved and had some changes in life...but now I am back.

I was diagnosed with TOS by Dr. Togut. But, now I have doctors that say I have myofascial pain disorder. I have been seeing some good doctors who actually communicate with each other and try to help me.

TOS or myofascial etc...who knows...many of the symptoms mimic each other. And, there is so much that the medical community is still learning that it is almost trial and error to see what works or not.

As you all know, having TOS or Myofascial Pain or whatever is a disability that others cannot see. It is hard to explain to your family, friends, co-workers what you are going through because they just wouldn't understand.

Having this forum and others who understand what this is like is so important. I am so glad that when I came back to it that there were good people still here supporting each other.
