I realize it's genetic and not related to size but I don't know who else to ask.
My mum has it. I have it and it's getting progressively worse. Like mum, mine affects my face and scalp. It is severe.
People who don't know anything about the condition often assume I have it because of my weight which is annoying for a hundred different reasons and I bet you guys can guess what all of them are.
Anyway, it has disrupted my life to the point I'm researching ETS to treat it. At first I was hopeful but now I'm thinking the surgery isn't worth the risk. I've heard Botox is very effective but my insurance won't cover it in my particular case because it affects my face/scalp and is therefore considered 'cosmetic.' Biggest steaming pile of junk ever.
Have you had ETS? Do you know anyone who has? Should I continue to consider it? Anyone know of effective alternative treatments?
Thanks ten tons for the feedback!
