Hi. Really glad to be part of the forum. I'm one of the UK ETS victims, having gone through ETS and lumbar sympathectomy between 1999-2001, and suffered many different side-effects since 2002.
Trying to work with the side-effects is unbelievably difficult to say the least, but I guess you just have to keep going eh. Having had the nerves cut (rather than clamped - a method I was not even told about), I'm realistic in the very, very feint chances of the nerves ever regenerating, so I try to just work on being as healthy as possible (e.g. supplements, exercise, tai chi, and acupuncture / cupping), in the hope that by just improving my general health, over time this may give my body the best chance to repair itself eventually. Who knows eh.
Anyway, really grateful to have another source of support, and I hope I can be a good member to the forum. If I can share tips, suggestions etc or help anyone please let me know.
