Harrie, Thank you and Michika a million times!!!
This is a tremendous amount of research and extremely valuable info. Very Much Appreciated. I too suffer terribly from PMPS and have done hours and hours of internet research, but somehow Michika managed to find even info.
I've been miserable for several months. I went to a physiatrist, who specializes in women with lymphedema and PMPS. I am now taking Neurotin and Motrin. Additionally, along with doing daily stretches, I go to physical therapy 3 times a week. It includes stretching, exercising, including myofascia (spelling) release performed by the physical therapist, and neck traction. I am finally getting some relief.
See my response to TriciaV's post. Click: TriciaV, To me, your symptoms...
Perhaps you and/or Michika could check out TriciaV post--click: Need Help...anyone please!!!!
to see if it sounds like possiblly PMPS to either of you.
THANKS AGAIN,
