It is a branch of the trigeminal nerve...it's called glossopharyngeal neuralgia... They think. It's so bad' date=' I literally want to die when it happens. The attacks are getting much closer together, so I pray for answers... Thanks to everyone for your support.[/quote']

I was supposed to have a bunch of nerves at the base of my skull behind my left ear snipped because of nerve pain. But did not want them to branch out to the top of my head. When you're having a painful attack there is nothing to take it away.

I'm hoping they'll find a med that will lessen the attacks for now...it's not a permanent solution, though. Right now I'll just be happy to have a doctor who will not pass the buck.

I would go to the mayo clinic. So many people have the best luck there. I was going to go there for my back if I didnt get any help here! Hope things get better for you. I definitely feel your pain and it gets very old and depressing after awhile. I'll be thinking of you!

I agree, mayo is the best! I work there. :)

I hear some of you talking about the foamies. I never asked what it was in the hopes of never knowing. Now I know. I hate the foamies.

You need a referral. I would ask your primary. I've heard good things about both in MN and FLA.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
