Hello @jmh and welcome to Mayo Connect. I'm not familiar with this disorder but I am sorry to hear of the post-surgery problems you are having. Did your doctor indicate that these symptoms are normal?

For those of us who are unfamiliar with this type of surgery, could you describe for us what happens when this surgery is performed?

Oh I thought I was in the right group be cause I read a lot of posts regarding this disorder. Anyways,surgery involves decompression of a cranial nerve by placing a sponge between the nerve and blood vessel to stop the spasms and twitching. The nurses on the unit I was on did say I may be nauseaous a bit but I was hoping to hear from others who had this surgery. I am maybe too impatient and want to get back to regularly working out and find I am not quite right yet.

I'd like to invite @levine138 and @michelles123 to join this conversation as they have had this surgery as well. Perhaps they can shed some light on your post-surgery symptoms.

How is the nausea, @jmh?
