Confused Another Neurologist?

My family Doctor referred me to a neurologist, as I have fallen several times in the last year or so. It doesn't matter if I am inside or outside. I lose my balance just standing still and my husband says it's like living with a drunk.
I didn't want to go to another Doctor as in the last few years I have seen:
Dr.Holsinger, Dr. Kaufman, Dr. Jayne Dr. Pollack, Dr. Taylor, Dr. Ray, Dr. Baknaleigh, Dr. Williams, Dr. Quinlan, Dr. Baker, Dr. Lemons, Dr. Nick. Four of these are neurologists. Some have helped and some have not.
One of these Doctors did my first MVD. (it failed.) One of these Doctors, At Mayo clinic in Rochester, Minn. opened my head two more times in back to back surgeries. This is when they had to sever the trigeminal nerve. My face is totally numb on that side. I figured that by having my face numb would be a piece of
cake, compared to what I had been dealing with.
Boy Howdy did I get it wrong. This is when the Anesthesia Delorosa set in.
This was five years ago, and the pain has not given me a days rest.
I have been through the mill, so I am a perfect example of what trigeminal Neuralgia is about and why I couldn't even say that word for the last five
years as it has taken so much away from me. I am so grateful for Neuro Talk
as I finally opened up so maybe I can work through the bitterness.
THANKYOU
