Egads, I'm so sorry Sharon...what a hellish experience! Yes, it's helpful (personally and I would think for others who are looking at long-term possible issues and such). I can only imagine the frustration and other big feelings you're enduring with this. Again, I'm sorry...and saddened to hear of your awful struggle. Since surgery you need won't be covered by insurance, and this second option is the only one available, I sure hope to hear that it WORKS. Fingers crossed tight

Complications and side effects can come at any time I've learned since finding TT, and it's ALWAYS good to know these things as I move further out. God forbid any of these various problems arise in my system, and knowing about others' difficulties is a sobering education. I'm sure you'll let the TT family know about your progress and the results of your treatment. And I'm praying that the fix will be perfect, even if it isn't the procedure you would prefer

Now isn't this just the sort of thing that a long-long term forum is helpful for? I say yes, but of course not in a way such as to say it's good, just helpful to be informed.

Bless you as you work on finding the solution to restore your health and to stop the awful effects of your current physiological state
