We got back from Denver this morning. It was a tough trip.We arrived Wednesday night and my 1st appointment was Thursday afternoon. We saw Dr. P, he is a Neurosurgeon. He was very nice with his bedside matter. Super smart and brought up some things that we haven't heard before. He disagrees about the TN diagnosis, he believes I have Trigeminal Neuropathy. I've googled it and there isn't much out there. I had a hard time finding someone with any experience with TN and now Trigeminal Neuropathy is ever more rare that that. He said that the surgeries for Regular TN would do nothing for me. There is some different procedures still out there, But I don't know much about them since I stopped listening after he said "I don't know". He also said that he would discourage me from letting anyone cut on me.
I am so glad to be back home. I didn't feel the greatest at all times. I was great to see everyone but it was go, go ,go! I got the to see my mom 5 days. But my own bed is going to feel so good. I have a lot of research to do, but Dr. P. also said that they last thing I need is another Neurologist, I need a pain institute. I just needed some time to soak it all in.
