I know that normal is really just a setting on the dryer, but after the last few months, I'm ready for any kind of normal that I can get! Unfortunately, the tonsillectomy that I had in October did not take care of the problem that I have been having with my throat. The Reader's Digest condensed version is my persistent sore throat is being caused by a nerve and just before the holidays I was diagnosed with
glossopharyngeal neuralgia. I have more testing ahead, but for now I'm looking into some holistic ways to manage the pain. The one thing that I have found that helps the most is staying so busy that I don't have time to think about it, so for now I am going to dial the knob to normal and see what happens!

Hope you're back to normal soon!
That is irritating to go through all you did and not have it resolve the problem. I hope you can find some relief. Keeping busy keeps our minds off all kinds of things..great therapy.
Here's to the soothing qualities of fondling fabric --
Sending lots of hugs and wishes for any "normal" you can find!
As a slightly crazy lady who has two forms of neuralgia, I am going to tell you that one of my doctors suggested that I use ginger capsules 3 times a day. I don't know if it will help, but it helps both forms that I have. You can read about it online and see if it sounds like a plan.
Gosh Susan that sounds like you have been in terrible pain. And to go through the tonsillectomy and have nothing resolved is so frustrating. Neuralgia pain is a horrible thing. I get it constantly down my legs from the spinal surgeries I have had. Not nice.
I so hope you find something to give you some relief soon.
So sorry to hear you've been in such pain. And went through a tonsillectomy needlessly. They're not a walk in the park either! I hope they've got a solution for you soon.
Oh Susan, such a bummer...I'm sending thoughts that they can figure out some relief for you.
Hugs kidddo
That's not good that you went through the tonsillectomy, I sure hope you do find your way to a good normal.
