Today, neurosurgeon Dr C and I made a date for Sept 24. That is the day I am going in for my MVD. I have only been dealing with TN for a year but for me it has been a year too long. Dr B (my neuro) and Dr C agree that I have reached the toxic limits of meds for my body. There’s nothing left for me to do right now in the drug area to take that can do anything for the pain. All parties agreed I need an alternative route. I could have had a sooner surgery date but we are in the middle of moving (to be into our new place at the end of the month) and then my son’s first birthday is the 11th. I am holding out until then. Here is to hoping.
