Interactive chat sessions will occur in our chat room on Tuesday August 14th at 3-5 PM US Eastern Daylight Time, and Wednesday August 15th at 2-4 PM to allow for greater convenience of connection to our UK and European members. The primary focus of these chats will be treatments from "alternative" medicine. As the chat moderator, I (Red Lawhern) bring 17 years of reading background and authorship of several chronic face pain websites and articles to this discussion. All are welcome.
Thanks for keeping this current, Jackie. I'll welcome your looking over my shoulder and adding in your own experience during our chat on Tuesday and/or Wednesday. Do what you can and don't feel obligated, lady... Regards, Red
the sessions are actually next Tuesday and Wednesday so I hope you can join then. because of the chat room set up transcripting is difficult so that may be a problem, sorry.
Ah...yes, I see that August 14th and 15th are still in the future! Thanks for pointing out the obvious, Jackie. :) I will see what I can do to be there on Tuesday.
Red, I am looking forward to this interactive chat. My MVD surgery was July 28, 2011 and I belive I can contribute my experiences since then to this event. Will you be sending detailed instructions on how to join the chat room? I don't want to miss anything.
Paula, there's really no "joining" required if you're a member of the site. Just select the chat tab on our menu at the top of any page, and you'll find yourself with a chat window. Fill in a "Hi" or other comment, and you've joined the discussion. FYI, we'll try to keep the focus on treatments of alternative medicine during these sessions. There will be others (hopefully in September) for other aspects of TN diagnosis and treatment.
