Well....it is time to put this thread to bed. I have my stimulator and it is wonderful. All the TN pain is gone and the AD pain is gone when the stimulator is on. You need to follow my story on the top thread above starting with Stimulator. There are pictures, etc. It is a long story of pain and suffering. Starting with trigeminal neuralgia, having gamma knife, having the mvd surgery, lots and lots of drugs, patches, a basket full of meds. I now have the stimulator in as of yesterday. It was a long surgery, partly awake a times so I could communicate with the doc, being totally out to make incision, and pocket for the generator. I will all worth it. It is controlling the pain So, of you have TN or AD and is struggling, let me know and give me your email and I can be there for .
Take care of yourself,
Cheryl
