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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
