So happy to read of your good results, Enfield. I had a MVD in October 2009 and am medication and TN pain-free. I have some very mild twinges now and then and some hypersensitivity on my scalp and ear on the TN side occasionally but they are nothing like TN pain (and not in the same place), so I think they are a result of 3 kinds of surgery over the years (and only noticeable because the numbness from those surgeries is almost all gone now). I hope you continue to do really well!
