Gareth and Lecia, you both healed yours naturally even though it was chronic right? that's very encouraging. i feel as if i'm starting from scratch even though i've had the surgery, so it's good to know that it is possible to heal it using "conservative" methods. maybe the surgery just helped kick-start my recovery and now i can complete it naturally. hopefully i'll notice some changes as i add these oils to my diet.
in other news, my surgeon called and said he will see me on the 24th, but in the meantime he is putting the forms in for a 2nd LIS (on the other side this time). that way, if we do determine on the 24th that i need another surgery, i'll be close to the date already. i thought that was very proactive of him. i think he feels bad for me since the 1st one didn't work. i'm not scared at all about having a 2nd surgery, i'm pretty much desperate to have this heal. it's been a year now that i've been dealing with it (although it wasn't correctly diagnosed until April)...
in the meantime, i'm going to get serious about these supplements!
