Clair,
Thanks for posting back, you have been on my mind - I can't imagine what it must be like to be stuck in a foreign country with complications. I am wishing you all of the comforting thoughts that I can muster, and pray that things improve. I also had very high internal pressure, and eventually needed steroid treatment and a lumbar drain to try to stop it from being so high. All in all 6 months of complications. Not to say that this will happen to you
In the end, the NS was able to stop the sharp shooting pains (TN1), but the trigeminal neuropathy (TN2) came back, and is still with me. That is the constant, incessant pain that will drone on for hours/days.
Wishing you the best, with all of my heart!
Lily
