Hi Tracy, I hope things are continuing to go well for you. I'm so glad that you're feeling better in time for your daughter's shower. Have you been able to go back to work yet? Is your jaw starting to feel better?

I went to a headache specialist last week to talk about the new headache type I developed after my surgery. He spent an hour and a half talking to me and was very interested in my TN. His theory is that I never really had TN. He thinks I have occipital neuralgia that was triggered by a fall I took a few weeks before the pain started. He used the word inflammation a lot. He put me on boswellia serrata (natural anti-inflammatory) and asked me to try a gluten-free diet because I've been having mysterious stomach issues.

My son has terrible teeth and has had a lot of dental work lately. Since learning about TN and hearing so many people say that theirs started with dental work, I worry every time he goes to the dentist.

I have another question for you. Did your vascular loops show up on an MRI before you had surgery?

I hope your days age getting better and better. Take care, Cheryl
