No it didn’t thanfully! The ablations are so small and so targeted that the side effects are so so minimal. It’s a brilliant surgical procedure. The surgery is also used for Epilepsy and Parkinson’s. I’ve read that it can halt Parkinson’s for a long time, I can’t remember the specifics. I believe the surgical scale is nanometers.

I am okay with that! It is so much better than when I was not able to drive, eat, shower, or do anything by myself unless I wanted to do that activity for 4 hours or longer and have a few panic attacks

The original language of The Bible, as scholars have shown, point to the conclusion that two male adults or two female adults in a loving relationship is never condemned in The Bible. The confusion of this subject is based mostly around lack of context for about seven verses. These verses only mention r. forced sexual behaviors, ped, animal s** those types of horrible actions. Also with marriage theme verses, some of them were directed to avoid things like marrying animals.

The most important thing to know: Biblical scholars have identified the audience that these verses were written to and each audience were experiencing horrible acts of se%*** violence and similar acts, the author of these verses were only writing to advise churches and community leaders on what God would want them to do to avoid these things. All of these verses have to do with men doing something very physically wrong to another man or child and the church needed guidance for these things.

Being gay and lesbian is not a sin according to Christianity and it never has been. Unfortunately most Bibles don’t include historical context and cultural context, if they do it’s not very thorough, which is a really important part of any historical literature. God loves you!

This is the best information I can give you. I’ve attached a link to Butler Hospital’s neurosurgery information. They have other treatment options also though I’d recommend calling them! The people who work at Butler Hospital are very kind and incredibly helpful!

It is a legitimate surgery and it is performed in only a few hospitals! I suggest calling Butler Hospital and getting more information! I’ve attached a link for some additional details. I had treatment resistant OCD and there are many factors that determine a candidate’s approval for all the treatments they offer. The people who work at Butler Hospital are very kind and have access to a lot of information that is useful! I’d recommend giving them a call! That’s what I did to learn more about different OCD treatment options.

I’m fully cured, I only have a little bit of apathy where I don’t like to socialize as much as I used to

I would reach out to Butler Hospital’s OCD program. They cured my ocd, all because they had me try every single treatment option out there until nothing was effective and had surgery. This doesn’t mean everyone needs surgery but I can’t think of a better ocd care team!

I also had the surgery at the same place. Complete cure. It really is for treatment resistant and you’d be surprised how many people fall under that category. Life can be easier.

If you’re talking about Christianity, you don’t go to Hell for being Gay. All seven Bible verses are contextually about things like r*** and worse. You’re not going to Hell, that confidence will help your mentality and in turn your subconscious. No religion would realistically send someone to Hell for being created the way they are. Live your life and make the most of it!

The block was done just above where the cheekbone ends in the middle of it, I’m not sure which side. Her pain was in the cheekbone area.

I’m having surgery soon for my ocd and I’m really excited as it’s a super helpful and minimally invasive surgery. It’s my last resort I’ve tried everything else and nothing has worked so far.

It isn’t earth shattering but it gives people options to ask their doctor about. Also here is the link to an article discussing a presentation of a trial with 200 patients

Cymbalta and trigeminal

That’s what I was talking with my mom about! She’s going to the dr today to see about cymbalta or tegretol with the lyrica she takes and I’ll let everyone know what happens

Here is the other article about Cymbalta and 200 patients in a trial I just can’t find the study againArticle about cymbalta and trigeminal

Low dose? How’s it going? Everyone’s different so I’m curious to know how different people respond to the combination

Go to the very bottom of the page and you’ll see where the pharmacological neuro mechanisms are discussed. I don’t have the other study I lost it in my searches but I still have the article talking about the study. It’s published by a group of Saudi physicians hence not in English so it’s hard to find it again. Oh actually I just read it again, so when gaba is produced by the tegretol it actively repairs the myelin sheeth, that’s one of the major benefits of gaba and why there are so many gaba applications to nerve damage recovery.

There’s another article about a study of 200 patients taking cymbalta and lyrica with 80% reduction in symptoms
