Welcome Lola,
I'm glad you had someone welcome you, and direct you to the right forum. Thanks for joining NT.
I hope you find answers to your questions. We learn from each other. I am on the MS forum and T.N is an issue with many of us.
I don't know who had an MDV here but maybe you want to read a few forums or do a search for MDV, with out search feature.
I hope you feel better now that your surgery was done.
Good luck and nice to meet you.
