oh my god, i feel so bad for you!! i thought i had it bad, but hearing about what you've gone through makes me realize it could be soo much worse and i guess i'm lucky to be able to function pretty normally every day. i'm glad the botox seems to have worked for you and hopefully you're finally at the end of your struggle with this.
i'm going to call my dr next week and say that i want some kind of "in depth" examination during my pre-op, just to rule out other possibilities. in the meantime i'll try not to let myself go crazy with worry. it's gonna be tough though :( thanks for all your info, if i notice anything else strange i'll have more questions for you!
