Happy New Year All!!!
I haven't been on for a while so I hope everyone has been able to get some joy out of life. I'm still pain free since my surgery November 19th 2010 and I am completely off of all medications that I was on for GPN since about 3 weeks ago. I'm getting more optimistic everyday. I've had so many remissions of the pain in the past, and then I had surgery 4 years ago to remove my styloid which gave me about 8 months pain free, that I have trouble believing in the permanence of my relief yet. And I still swallow with the same hesitation but I guess that will go away. I feel about 95% recovered from the surgery and should be returning to work in the next week or two.
Take care all.
