Hi epidEmic,
welcome and know u r not crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is a strange syndrome that many many doctors have trouble diagnosing nevermind understanding. If you are considering surgery u need to have a very very good surgeon who does tos surgeries a LOT not just once or twice a year. The last thing you need is complications from a very serious surgery that if done incorrectly will cause you a lifetime of hell.

DO not get me wrong I have had surgery!! I hope that where ever you go u find what u need. It is not to be taken lightly! It helped me immensley as I had vascular tos and as it turns out the surgeon told me after that I had neurogenic as well after he did my surgery.

You need to do some research here on the surgeon...YOU need to interview HIM@! Ask questions about tos ...after you do your research...and know your stuff......and see if he knows what he is talking about...make sure he does many a year and not a few. If that's the case it may be worth your time to go to a place that will do the surgery for you who is well knowledged in tos and does many surgeries!!!

Just some thoughts to ponder!!
Ask for help anytime you need it.
