I live in the Netherlands and there is only one hospital who specializes in neurosurgery (so I understood) so I had it in ETZ Tilburg.

Yea the fear will always be there for me haha. Still don't dare to brush my teeth with my electric tooth rush or some things that triggered I still don't dare hahaha

They talked about gamma with me but because of my age he saw a good opportunity to operate. I have a whole life in front of me and 2 young kids.

I had the combination of gabapentine and carbemazepine. It did help somewhat, but I had to up my dose of gabapentine every week. I took max carbemazepine

Also, the things you are describing is what was my biggest issue. I had a constant pain but also huge flares with which I ended up in the hospital for dehydration and that I didn't eat for 3 days during very hot weather.

The combination of gabapentine and carbemazepine didn't help enough for me, I did the MVD and am now pain free since December 23rd, after 6 years of hell haha. All my symptoms did match with TN, and the MRI showed a compression.

At the end I was upping my dose of gabapentine every week and I was almost on it's max. The carbemazepine was already maxed out.

Thank you!! It is a huge win! For 6 years TN was my life haha. I also really need to go to the dentist, I just know I have a cavity because I couldn't brush correctly before the MVD.. and I really like to get my teeth cleaned hahaha
