Thank you. Possibly Montana or North or South Carolina. It’s a bit up in the air at the moment. I’m self employed and it’s coming up on my busy season so a lot of it depends on that. It’s more likely that it’ll be Montana only because I don’t even know how I’d manage a move across the country logistically with my dizziness.
@Dizzy - Montana is a beautiful state! We’re planning to move to Wyoming from the West Coast so would be your distant neighbors.
MT will put you a bit closer to CO where Dr. Hepworth is. He’d be a good doctor for you to consider seeing w/ the symptoms you have.
I’m considering Wyoming too! I forgot to mention it for some reason. I’ll look into that doctor. Thank you.
We’ll be going to the eastern part - not too far from Spearfish, SD, which is also a beautiful area!

I’m UK but from what I’ve seen online/ TV Montana looks beautiful! As @Isaiah_40_31 says, Dr Hepworth is really experienced with vascular ES, so that would be a great move
Hey there! What a discovery haha! I had a CTV done and it showed my left SCM has gotten so big from being tight 24/7 that it compresses my left IJV and pushes my C1 into the right IJV.
My first rib was also in the right place so it seems my shoulder and/or first rib are not causing the issues.
I had my first low dose botox round done in my left SCM. Got quite a bit of relief. Getting my second round today with an increased dose.
This is the dr going over the ctv: https://youtu.be/zNlnMqDn1Hg?si=z4RBRZyRgQ4ccr0O
Thanks for sharing that @IvdM , and I hope that the botox injections help your SCM tightness and swelling
That is a remarkable video, @IvdM! I’m so glad you saw Dr. Middleton. We have other members who’ve also seen him & speak highly of him. I also hope the botox injections are a huge help in reducing the size of & tension in your SCM and that in turn allows your IJV & ICA to open up more fully. You may still need a styloidectomy later, but for now you’re off to a good, far less invasive start to recovery.
