                        I have fibrous dysplasia on the base of my skull.  I have been researching and reading everything on this disease.  I have long suffered from severly painful headaches-not migraines.  Doctors never could help me. Medication never helped me. Now I know  what has been causing these pains all these years. I am fearful  of surgery. If anyone is suffering from this  and can offer some words of advise of   encouragement please reply. I can't sleep.  This is all I think about. I am consumed by it.
