I have had severTN for3 years.It was from shingles. it affects the entire left side of my head and face, even into my mouth and nose. I have tried everything I have heard of or told about by near pain management doctors, but nothing has worked. Does anyone know anything about the surgery that Mayo info talks about. The surgery that goes thru small hole in skull and put buffers between the trigeminal nerve and the others on top of it. This info said that was the only cure. I am praying for death I am in such pain. Only the thought of my dog being alone keeps me alive. If you know anything that has helped ANYoNE with this ,please let me know

there is certainly a lot of noise pollution out there. Hope you feel better soon

THANKS AGAIN, THIS MEANS A LOT. IT IS MY LAST CHANCE FOR AN ORDINARY END OF MY LIFE. I WILL TRY TO GET TO SOMEONE HERE WHO KNOWS THIS PROCEDURE. ALTHOUGH, I HAVE BEEN TO 3 DIFFERENT NEURO SURGEONS, AND 2 PAIN MANAGEMENT HOSPITALS AND NO ONE MENTIONED THIS. I HOPE YOU FIND SOME PEACE FOR YOUR PROBLEM. I HOPE THE TN DID NOT COME BACK AS SEVERE AS THE FIRST TIME. YOUR INFO MAY HAVE SAVED MY LIFE...I KID YOU NOT! SUSAN LURDING
