7 year anniversary of my MVD

This year has been very typical for me. Very few shocks. Still had my usual small flair in April, but nothing that required meds.

This is the first year I am in peri-menopause and guess what girls, without that monthly rise and drop in hormones, the difference is extremely noticeable. Far fewer problems. Now all I have to be concerned with is the weather and atmospheric pressure.

For all of you that are going through MVD this year. Good luck. I know what a hard decision it is to make, but once you make it you are on to a new beginning to an old life.

I still know that I have TN. I always will. The memories and thoughts are never going to go away. You can't suffer so intensely and so long and just wake up and forget it existed.

Whether it be surgery, medication or another procedure, I only wish that everyone could be lucky enough to find the right solution to live pain free. It's a luxury most people never think about.
