Kingflab,

The decision of going through with ets is ultimately yours. You will probably go through the various lists of statistics, the one's either from the doc's or from this site or others. What I can help you with is this. Before I had my ets, I was only given two statistic's about cs and horner's syndrome. The statistic's that i got were most likely wrong since i was quoted a 2 percent chance of cs. As blind as I was about ets going into the surgery, Knowing perhaps the real statistics would not have changed my result. Do you get what i'm trying to say? It wouldnt of made a difference. If you think going into the line of work you are heading into is a nightmare with sweaty hands, buddy i gotta tell you if you are one of the "statistic's" with bad c's your nightmare's will end because u'll never think about that profession anymore. That is not saying you dont end up with some of the other side effects that are not listed by the doctors. Your daily living will consist of trying to get out of a nightmare that was cosmetic and did not have any health concerns to one that could be filled with health concerns. You will go to doctor's and try to explain. They will listen but have nothing to offer. You will be listed as mia in life. Everyone will think u've lost your sanity and gone missing in action.

Take this from a poster who for year's wanted to take the high road, giving the doctor's the benefit of the doubt. Thinking ets might be reasonable for some people. Trying to supply an impartial view.

Sometime's the grass is severly burned on the other side. When you get to that side you feel yourself burning up, then you realize that you really are due to ets and the thermoregulatory problems.

Just something to think about
