Mei Mei,
   So glad you are getting some relief.
  Does your myfacial stud, Michael, have any referrals to other therapists throughout the US? Just a long shot if he knows of a good link to find good therapists?
  Thanks,
 Bell

They sure are studs and they're all booked up till the 18th, then I have two appts a week after that.   I won't see them till the 18th.   Let me google Myofacial Release PT and see what they say.     Just came back from a neurosurgeon recommended by my Sleep doctor.   He said he never does retrosigmoid and I had such a small tumor.   He said like Dr. Friedman in HEI that he would have done Middle Fossa and preserved my hearing.   He felt really badly.    He recommended cutting the three damaged nerves with the Plastic surgeon at Georgetown and then he would do surgery to pack my skull over the Titanium mesh so there would be protection of the Dura.   He said this has been done since World War II.  He also said taking out the mesh now is not recommended because there are many holes in the mesh and the brain has grown through it now.   It's been 14 months.

Will search google for you and post.

ARGH!!!!   I hate referrals.   I thought we were going on that trip to an island with a doctor we share and doesn't need referrals!

I'm  so glad that you're going on Monday.   That was quick.   At Georgetown there's a waiting list.  These guys are in high demand.

On my first visit he removed the block on the side of my neck and as soon as he did it, I fell asleep and started babbling in my sleep  I heard Michael's voice and woke up.   Then I went home and went upstairs for a nap and slept from 1:30 to 7:30.   It was such a wonderful sleep.   I was sleepy all the next day.   It just shows how much tension was stored up in my body.

Can't wait to start hearing your comments.
