I've assumed it was an all-at-once removal--the doctor didn't mention Mohs, which might have made sense with this issue. His reply to me did make...
Thanks, Arnie. I know the answers to most of those questions--or will, after the surgery (like, for example, whether I'll need radiation therapy...
Thanks so much--I always need prompting to be more assertive. (You'd think that, having been ill all but 8 years of my life I'd be a better...
Edited for update: Got this just now from the ENT surgeon, who replied promptly to my message this a.m. So I will go with the GA and just ask for...
I had one about 19-20 years ago, and it wasn't painful (like perchance dreamer, I found it less uncomfortable physically than a cervical exam,...
Whoa, wait--I missed something: olanzapine (which I've been taking since 2008, originally prescribed for MDD secondary to severe weight-loss...
As someone who may soon be trying low -dose Abilify, I have a question about the possible/hypothesized effects on the mitochondria. If ME does...
Sarah94, I'm so glad that you didn't need ingrown-toenail surgery. I think how local anesthetic injections feel depends so much upon the location...

I've been scanning through some other posts to this thread and am wondering if Abilify is the right treatment for me to try. I can get up pretty...
I realize I'm about 3 years late to this thread, but I wanted to respond since I've just been seen at Dr. Bonilla's Stanford clinic. I haven't yet...
I like your mixed metaphors, Peter! :thumbup:

Sorry, NelliePledge. "Hx" is medical shorthand (in the US at least) for history, and JIA is juvenile idiopathic arthritis, what Juvenile...
Wow--well I would definitely defer to you with your research experience, Jonathan. My doctors were probably going upon experience with specific...
On Dec 29th, I had my first appointment at the Stanford PACS (post acute Covid syndrome) and ME/CFS clinic, and even though I saw a young PA...
