@Bam - you are fortunate to have found a physician who "gets it", gave the time to connect and discuss it. Only those who had any form of -experience- with T/H, even if fleeting could only relate and provide some empathy towards others on this. Another member posted a similar experience a little while ago.
This approach by a Dr. who acknowledged it, has people skills is a rarity. Not only does it make such a difference for sufferers to feel heard, but also the ones who more likely to document unbiasedly in reports as SAID by the patient at the time and overtime after an E.N.T injury. So often, due to quick assumptions and incorrect documenting, this becomes all muddled up into an alphabet soup of confusing ambiguity redirected elsewhere away from the true source, hence creating many misdiagnoses and long delays in care, if any at all.
I literally sensed a little peace amid the storm in your post. At the very least, you may have finally found a Dr. who cares and willing to work with you to help.
I'm envious. Thanks for sharing.
