After an unsuccessful MVD last July and my neurosurgeon completing giving up, my ENT took over. I had a few semi-successful nerve blocks of my Great Auricular Nerve and on Feb. 18 had that nerve cut. I'm still recovering and have decided to cut the Methodone that the pain clinic here has kept me on since last July. I hate it, as it makes me feel unlike myself and it does not take away the pain. Except for January when they miscounted and sent me into a hellish withdrawal from it they have refused to let me stop it. After this surgery was done I decided I've had it with them and I will heal from this, hope it was the answer, but either way continue my studies into essential oils and medicinal herbs so I no longer have to take 15 pills a day. I want to be free from this hellish pain, but even if I can't have that I want to be clear headed again! Good luck to all of you on your journeys to find pain relief. I've been away for quite awhile, dealing with the depression and poverty that comes from having my spouse be unable to work to the extent of both of our pain (he's waiting on surgery for a different condition.) Times are tough, but I hope with all my heart this surgery will be the success that the MVD was not. I miss conversing will many of you on this board, but have been wrapped up in my own hell. Be well.

Good to see you! although sad to read your update about all that’s transpired since your MVD… I do understand though…more than you know…
I will keep you in my prayers and hope that this recent procedure gives you substantial relief! ( did you have the TN nerve cut? )
Please check in every once in awhile, I’d like to know how you’re doing. In the meantime best wishes for your husbands surgery, hope your recovery goes smoothly and may the future be way brighter for you both!!
take care of you…Mimi xx
It is hard to get out of our own heads at times. I have gone “underground” this winter as well. I am really hoping that spring will bring fresh energy to continue this journey for all of us. In the meanwhile I hope the next procedure will bring you relief. Hugs and prayers
