Dr Ozer checked my tongue where it has been hurting so bad, into my neck and in the ear like the side where the OC was. He says it's possible that I have it again. Talk about fear. Man I have it but am trying to ignore it until I hear from him about fridays PetScan.I know what you fear and respect the fear . If I got it I got it and will do what's needed to cure it again. I was feeling like a whimp instead of some tough old ass . LOL
