should I consider it a nervous breakdown if Ive been crying for 3 days …I had my 2nd MVD amonth ago and Im still in pain…talked to the doc and he says thaeres still hope but wants another mri…never cryed so much in my life
Dear June,
No, you are having a normal response to an abnormal challenge! Who of us were ever built to suffer like this? I DO know how it feels to have an MVD only to have the pain retun, and I would have cried for days, but the crying triggers TN for me. So if it doesn’t hurt, then cry all you want. Then pick yourself back up and try to face things day by day. I know it’s hard. It’s really hard to bear this. You can do it though - and remember us here, who like to hear from you. So please check back in when you are feeling well enough to, ok?

June,
I’m so sorry you are still in pain. Is the pain any better than before your surgery? I was in pain after my MVD also but it was greatly diminished and continued to get better for a period of about 6 months or so. So maybe your pain will continue to get better. Did the surgeon give you prednisone? I had a couple rounds of that after mine because the surgeon said that the nerve was probably inflamed. What did the surgeon find during the surgery?
I’m considering my 2nd MVD because my pain began to get worse. But now I’ve added another medicine that is working fairly well although in the last 3 days it isn’t working quite as well. I know it is so disappointing. TN is very hard to manage. I pray for all of us. Please email me anytime.

How I feel for you, after my mvd it was 2 years before the pain began again, I was so down I can quite understand how you feel. Sometimes I feel as if I cannot go on anymore, then I make myself think of my grandchildren and hubby. So I will never do anything silly. Please God they find a cure for this or at least treatment that takes most of the pain away. My heart goes out to you. love Margaret.
I’m so sorry. And she is right. It is a normal response. I want to cry with you. Hang in there. We are here for you.
