Thanks for your prayers and concerns.
I am not making this decision lightly; I have suffered from TN off and on for over 38 years and all through that time I have been treated by the same neurosurgeon that I trust completely.
He is a past president of the American Academy of Neurological Surgery
and is well published in the Journal of Neurosurgery.
These are just two of his many references.
Because I have had TN for so long I can see that my condition leaves me few options so I'm putting my faith in my doctor and trusting him with my health.
Thanks again for your good wishes and I will post again after my recovery.
