It'll be two years in December. Still got it. Got brave and went on some international business trips this fall, first time left the country since getting this in Thailand. Went to a city at high altitude and did fine though was worried since I've had some bad reactions. One one trip had a problem with chest pain but it went away after several hours.
Symptoms I still have: nerve pain, daily, all over at random spots/times. Head pressure still won't normalize. Occasional chest/abdominal pain. Wrinkled fingertips when cold or pressure applied. Headaches, muscle pain.
Been trying Gabapentin for the nerve pain- doesn't seem to help much if at all. Been on a nasal steroid to try to normalize ear pressure- also not helping. Might repeat some imaging soon.
Anyone out there with a story to share? It's a lonely condition, that's for sure. Connected with a friend of friend who had it and even found a dr in New York who's seen it before. He told her eventually it 'breaks away' from the nervous system- in her case under a year.
