I’m glad that she’s not going to use the lidocaine injection as a diagnostic tool 
Has your pain from it reduced at all yet?

@Jules @anon30378544 As Filya said in France the neurochirugien I saw for compression of my jugulars laughed in my face, telling me that such compressions didn’t matter because the collateral network would take over! He even refused to look at my CT and MRI scans. As I was leaving the appointment, he advised me to take a nice vacation in the Seychelles instead of considering a procedure in Turkey!

thanks!
PThe PET scan is the test I requested from my primary care physician. in october 2025! I requested it because I felt, palpated at the back of my throat, a round mass like a lymph node, which then, after firm palpation, seemed to drain behind my palate.He said it isn’t possible you have your finger in your throat, and said “no! If you want to have you have to pay for it” I said"ok" but he doesn’t want to prescribe it and said I was a “psychiatric” woman !!!

Have all a good night.

@Veroguilnec how they love to label when they don’t know or don’t want to be bothered. Keep advocating!

@Veroguilnec - The seashore pictures of the area near your home are beautiful! I am envious & would love live so near the ocean shore!!
I’m sorry you’re still struggling to find the right doctor. Perhaps the one @junonbss has found would also be helpful for you?

Hi ! Thank you for ur support @Isaiah_40_31 and @Jules 
Oh yes Im so glad my perserverance had finally paid off. I’m waiting for other reviews cause I don’t want to go too fast but I got a really good feeling with this ENT. Yes, she didn’t expecting a result from the lidocain test, aswell she tell me it could increase my pain (yes, it was!! I got 5 days really difficult but now my pain is like before the injection). I have to tell her this weekend by email how it goes and I will see what she proposes to me!
And yes too for the endocrinologist! She’s a young girl who question herself, she listen to me and to my symptoms and I think hypo parathyroidism is a big part of my health problems. Thank you for all ur kind words !! I will take care of my hypo parathyroidism first and yes after if the ENT is sure, I will go to the surgery with her. There is still hope even in the darker places
