Hi everyone. I have just registered and this is my first post. I am looking for anyone who has this awful awful disease and any tips to try. I have been from one Dr to another and I feel I have been bounced around enough. I do have MVD surgery next wk and I really am scared of this one. I have had a few surgeries and it is not the surgery itself. It is more the fear that it won't work or will make it much worse. I was not impressed with this neurosurgeon at all. His bedside manner sucked. I spent a couple minutes w him and he dashed ou the door. I feel I have no other choice and my drs will not gv me anything for pain or to help me sleep. And really have only tried 2 meds. The side affects are too much for me. I know you all will say try to find another surgeon. But he is the only one who does this type of surgery around here where I live. I feel I have no other choice. Can you tell me your experiences and how your MVD surgery turned out. Any ideas will help. Thank you
