    • About Me

      I am a nurse that is trying to find info on ptc, since I have it. Want to help others and be helped. I have had to deal with this for about 5 years, but only diagnosed for 1 year. I have had 2 ear surgeries, and 2 eye surgeries and had to go on disablity at this point to deal with this. I have worked in nursing for 12 years and never heard of ptc prior to my diagnosis and looking for as much information as possible. I have daily migraines, with swelling on right side of my face on some days. At the start of this journey I had some doctors look at me and tell me it was "all in my head" and had I "ever thought of seeing a psychiatrist for all" my stress. But I have 4 great doctors now.
