The minute I awoke from surgery I knew it was all over with and now on to a wonderful life.
Find a good neuro surgen!
read up on any drug they want you to take,you have the right to refuse !
good luck

I am so happy that the procedure worked and you are pain free!! Only someone
who has experienced the pain first hand can truly understand. I have to say my doctor has been great....at my first visit she was 95% sure it was TN.....The Lyrica seems to be working for me so far. Attacks not as frequent But, than I can have 5 good days and two days of horrible attacks. I would suggest to anyone to speak to their doctor about the medicince CAMBIA.....it has been a great help!!
