Two years ago today, I was in the hospital undergoing brain surgery where my pituitary, pituitary stalk, hypothalamus and assorted granulomas were being ripped out. Seems a lot longer than 2 years.

9 years is a long time...I can't imagine having to do all this crap for that long..although i know its never ending.


Are u feeling better today ?

It seems odd to say "Congratulations" vdub, but I mean "Congratulations on still being alive!" Who needs a stinking pituitary and hypothalamus, anyway? They are SO overrated. :wink1:

Tomorrow will be better, Phil. Nothing stays the same.

+ 1 on Congrats on making it through these past two years!

This month marks 20 years for me... Hit me like a ton of bricks on March 8, 1992. Happy to say I was symptom free from May 1994 until 2004, and then did not even take meds for it until December 2010 for what it is worth. Praying I can get to that place again...

So were you off meds totally from 1994 to 2010?

Well actually now that I think back, I did take something like Lyrica for about a year in 2004-2005 and maybe a little bit of prednisone. But from May 1994-2004 and 2006-12/2012 did not take anything at all.
