Hello,
My name is Cheryl. I live in Denver, Colorado. I have TN and could really use some encourage. I had the gamma knife surgery about 5 weeks ago. At first it seemed that it worked as I had fewer attacks and not as painful. Now the attacks are as painful as they were before the surgery. The Doc told me that if did not work then I would have to have the MVD. Help if you can and thank you
Cheryl

Hi Cheryl and welcome to NeuroTalk. I'm posting the link to the TN Forum for you as this forum you've posted in is the MS Forum.

http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum26.html

Hopefully someone in that forum will be able to give you some info and guidance. Please let me know if you have any questions. I'll be glad to help in any way I can.

Hi,
I've been browsing here for more info.

I'm a 38 yo female, and have had "symptoms suggestive of MS" since March this year, with a 4 week 'break' in between.

MRI in April was clear, VER was normal.

Neuro put me on oral steroids. It's helping with pins and needles, but not with tiredness, & leg/arm weakness.

So I'm hoping it's not MS of course, but everything else is clear and neuro doesn't know what to do next, apart from another MRI in november.
I told the receptionist I'm not waiting that long to see the neuro!
So I see her this Monday - and hope she'll try something else??

So that's my medical situation.!
I'm also a single Mum to 2 boys, 4 and 7yrs. They are very gorgeous of course!!

Hi Freesia38 and welcome to NeuroTalk! I'm sorry you're having all these symptoms...glad the steroids helped. MS is hard to diagnose sometimes. It's a game of elimination for some of us. I hope your next Neuro appointment goes well. Keep posting here, too. We have a very large MS community and there are lots and lots of very knowledgeable people here who can help you through the rough spots. Glad you found this forum and hope to see you around!
