Well, I guess no one wants to talk about this, so I'll just ramble on and on.

I live in a city of about 120,000 people. Data shows that 10,000 to 15,000 persons per year get TN in the US. Also, we know that about 16.8 persons in our country are over 50. (the age that most with TN).

Therefore the chance of getting TN is 13000 divided by 55,440,000 (16.8% of pop), which comes out to .0002345, or about .023%. (23 in 100 thousand). I say all of this to ask the question: If only 4 or 5 persons per year in my city get TN, (which is .00023 times 20,000 or 17% of the pop of my city) then how am I going to find a doctor who is experienced in treating this condition?

Maybe I should look at doctors in a larger city near me , such as Richmond, Va.

any thoughts?

thanks, anyway
