STRESS STRESS.
i just hope that your results with mvd are typical results and not something out of the ordinary.
thanks again and take care

Trevor, I as told that my results are typical for someone with classic TN. As long as the surgery is done by an experienced TN neurosurgeon and as long as the TN you have is Classic and not Atypical, your results should be very similar. The actual stats are in the book Striking Back. The are something like 95% success for MVD under the conditions I mentioned above.
