Hi All,

Does anyone happen to know anything about the Peripheral Nerve Institute at

MedStar town University Hospital? I was thinking of exploring possible

options for peripheral nerve damage as a result of my TSC. Thanks.

I am pretty sure it would not work for me per their website:

" An important consideration is that the repairs should ideally be done

immediately (same day) as the nerve injury was documented. If that is

not possible, every attempt should be made to perform nerve repair

within three to four weeks. After that period, it's possible there

will be irreversible loss of nerve function. Once the nerve is

reconstructed, it recovers approximately a half to one millimeter per

day, so please be patient while you recover function bit by bit. "

At my age it would take too long to notice any significant improvement.
