It is possible that many medical procedures are not helping your pain.
Having journalized my TN Story on the web I can't overemphasize
 the value of sharing your pain with others around the world.
 You can read some pain stories on my website  www.MyTrigeminalNeuralgiaStory.com
 When  you describe your rare pain you may find others around the world who have an identical situation. Sharing this can be most valuable and comforting. You can do this by e-mail or you can put it on video tape.  I can videotape your testimony before or after the meeting. It will be on www.Youtube.com and also on www.MyTrigeminalNeuralgiaStory.com in a day or two.
 

Here are 2 videos of Marge Prietz who had an MVD  9 years ago in  Richmond, VA .
