I had my VA ENT appointment and the initial response was to dismiss styloid-induced symptoms/ES. But, after the initial ENT doctor consulted with the senior ENT physician, the senior doctor reviewed my CT & MRI images, then palpated my neck, jaw and intra-orally in my mouth, The senior ENT doc then confirmed my suspicion and diagnosed me with ES.
I will be following up with a VA ENT/Head & Neck Surgeon and will be scheduled for surgery soon!

Over 3 years of multiple doctors: ENT's, neurologists, chiropractors, dentists/TMJ specialists, multiple exams, CT/MR/Ultrasound imaging and medicines: gabapentin, prednisone, antibiotics, etc. and thousands of dollars later and I finally feel like the diagnosis is correct!

I am overjoyed & grateful!
