Hey, I’m a TN sufferer living in the Houston,TX area. I have both type 1 and type 2 on my left side. I just had a second mvd in less than a year about 4 weeks ago and I’m finding it to be a really rough recovery. Just looking for anyone else in my area that may also be dealing with this horrible condition
Hi Houston Tx, I live in the area as well, and have been recently diagnosed. Hope everything gets better for you. On another note, I wish I was kicking back on a beach with an umbrella drink in my hand and the sound of the surf in my ears. Umm cool breezes
Hi there, I live in the Houston area too. I have type 1 & 2. I am a police officer and this has made it very difficult to work. I want an MVD so I can hopefully get off the drugs. I hate the side effects so much, and they get in the way of my job. I take so much time off now because of this that I worry someone will say something. Anyway, who is your doc, mine is Doc. Garcia. He is very nice and takes his time with you. He answers every question, and loves that I am so well informed. I go see another Doc next week out of Baylor, he's a surgeon. His name begins with a V, Its really messed up so I can't spell it for you. Good luck, and don't let things get you down, it will get better
I just had my third and final surgery 3 weeks ago. I finally went to see Dr. Dong Kim, head of Mischer Neuroscience Institute, down in the med center. I wish I had gone to see him in the very beginning of all of this. I urge you to try to get in with his office. His neurologist will evaluate you (she is amazing) and then you get to see him. He is hands down the best and most compassionate doc I’ve ever been to. He’s the one who operated on Gabby Giffords after that psycho shot her in the face. He’s one of the best surgeons in the world. It can take a long time to get in to see him on your own but if your doc calls his office they will get you in. That’s what we did. I have a feeling my journey would have been a lot less stressful and less painful had I seen him in the beginning. He specializes in face pain. I can’t urge you enough to see him before you have any procedures done. If you have any questions or want his info let me know.
