Hello there @Fluff and welcome to Living With Facial Pain! Happy new year! I hope you have a wonderful new year. Oh, you’re from Oregon, I am from the Philippines and we actually have a friend living there in Oregon right now! By the way, I can’t imagine how horrible that experience was. How are you doing now? I hope you’re doing okay. It’s nice to know that you are living nearby a place that helps you in dealing with the pain.
