My first day on this site. I've read a lot of blogs and comments and it's very disheartening. I'm considering MVD due to my age and years dealing with TN. Fearful current meds will eventually lose their effectiveness and by then I won't be a good candidate for surgery.
But everything I've read is downright scary. Mortality rates, worse after surgery, hearing loss, etc.
Is there ANYONE who had a positive experience??? I did talk to one person who had the surgery done in San Francisco and raves about it. WOKE UP pain free and has stayed pain free two years ago.
Has anyone heard anything about Dr. Bettegowda at Johns-Hopkins??
