I am not a professional sufferer. Back in the 1960's when very little or no information was known about MVD's, Gamma knife, balloon compressions etc. there was a way out of the jolting, electrifying pain of T.N. and it was suicide. Can you imagine not having access to some of our meds we have today or the brilliant neuro's as well? When the attempt was made at surgery, the patient came out with a sagging face involving the eye, cheek and mouth.
