Good luck with the MVD, Kimberly! I have ATN. Funny you should mention neurontin-induced depression. I was on a very high dose of it this year and I have NEVER experience such severe depression in my life. I felt 100% depleted and my DH and family were worried about my mental state. I just went off the neurontin to try Lyrica. I'm getting good results from it and best of all, I have felt the depression LIFT! I feel my energy coming back, and I can think and concentrate again!

I don't think the MVD is going to do much for your ATN. You may have to face being on meds again for that -- or read up on the Peripheral Neuro Stimulator that a couple of people here have gotten! My pain doctor is planning on doing his first one in a few months -- I told him to give the #2 slot to me! Keep us posted when you get your surgery date.

P.S I'm pretty new on here too. I've been diagnosed with ATN for almost 3 years now although I had episodes of it for almost 20 years. Always thought I had sinus trouble.
