Apart from the cost of CT and MRI, how much it costs to block your nerves? And how many days did you have to stay there?Are the hotels very expensive? Please, answer me because I'm desperate! :( Thank you so much in advance.

My TMJ specialist in NJ highly recommended him. One of my concerns is the cost. Was any or the $1800 and $955 covered by insurance?If so, Did you have to pay up front and then get reimbursed? Thank you in advance. I appreciate how thorough your account of how the consultation process goes.GPellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06756331906532543485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25102529.post-39773532266891114042013-03-19T10:14:41.245-06:002013-03-19T10:14:41.245-06:00I have only recently "discovered" you, a...I have only recently "discovered" you, and love reading your thoughts on decorating our homes. In the midst of your headaches, you share such calm and beautiful thoughts and photographs. Your blog is impressive. You are, without doubt, more in tune with things in life that are truly beautiful.

You have gathered so much information from Dr. Piper. Thank you for breaking it down for your readers. I'm sorry you had an adverse reaction to the injection - that must have been quite scary. I once lost 100% of hearing in my right ear for a month (while we were in Provence). The right side of my face felt paralyzed and really heavy. Miraculously, my hearing came back. Take care, and keep us posted!!!<br />Loi Woodside Parkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13981644571968878448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25102529.post-14569286999051150152013-02-14T07:18:33.396-07:002013-02-14T07:18:33.396-07:00Hi there ... my best friend has suffered with head...Hi there ... my best friend has suffered with headaches for her entire life. She had a surgery here in Houston a year ago and it has helped her dramatically! Some that have this surgery are completely headache free afterwards after having daily headaches for years. I am definitely not saying this is your issue but if you want to shoot me an email, I can give you her info and you guys could chat. I have such empathy for you and the hard life of being in pain. I have witnessed it with my friend. Good luck to you!

In dogs, anyhow, it can be caused by a benign tumor in the pituitary. This form, however, is considered the 'good' form as it is benign and easily managed with medication. Symptoms in dogs are increased thirst, increased urination, poor coat and a round belly (due to muscle deterioration from excessive steroid production). I am sure you are fine as you are not showing any other symptoms, and it is so great that they found this now. Makes me want to get a CT/MRI. You know, just in case something shows up. I had a CT once (for migraines, but nothing like yours) and all was ok then. <br />So glad your trip was a success. I'm getting sick of this white and brown terrain of ours and could sure use some sand and warmth myself!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04323600022901314948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25102529.post-88296534399252769052013-02-12T13:59:31.084-07:002013-02-12T13:59:31.084-07:00terri, you are so much further along the road to f...terri, you are so much further along the road to finding out the right solution for you. so glad you had the means and opportunity to see this doctor. although, I can not imagine what it would have been like losing your feeling/movement in your face like that.<br /><br />I know it is hard, but try not to fret about the pituitary issue. don't worry until you know there is something to worry about. just think of how you are conquering these headaches, one step at a time.<br /><br />best wishes! donna A Perfect Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03022160717740694132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25102529.post-26025711649307780462013-02-12T13:04:37.394-07:002013-02-12T13:04:37.394-07:00You have no idea how much I needed a good baking i...You have no idea how much I needed a good baking in the sun...<br />It was perfect!Windlosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014227226507484798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25102529.post-84844441374651635482013-02-12T08:52:17.727-07:002013-02-12T08:52:17.727-07:00More than anything, I imagine it's comforting ...More than anything, I imagine it's comforting to feel like you've been listened to and taken seriously. Some of the news sounds promising, some is certainly concerning. I guess it's a good thing to have found the pituitary issue now and hopefully it's something that can be dealt with quickly and effectively so you can move on with treatments that provide some relief. It's always nice to get away in the middle of the winter.

That's wonderful! Try not to fret about the pituitary issue until you know more. I know that's hard to do. Keep us posted. You sure did have a beautiful spot to rest and recuperate. The sand on that beach is amazing. I've never been to a beach with white sand like that. I've only been to Florida once -- Orlando for a conference -- and I'd really like to see the Keys or Sanibel Island.

I am very excited to think that you've had a significant lessening of pain levels, though I would like the headaches to just be gone. And you say that getting the pituitary situation resolved could also mean getting more relief? Now that is good news. You keep chipping away at this health concern until you have satisfactory answers. Be fearless. I truly believe that you'll find relief. As always, you're tucked into my prayers.<br /><br />And, my dear, you take the most scrumptious photos. You make me want to go to Florida.
