Thanks so much. My neuro thinks I need surgery. It is helpful to hear that your surgery helped.

The noise trigger is strange. I cannot put this picture together. I note the numbness remains when things are quiet so the noise may be causing trigeminal neuralgia. Face is very numb today and there is no leaf blower or AC noise etc.

Interesting that tinnitus improved!

I cannot take steroids unfortunately- trigger for afib.
