Title: HEADACHE FREE UPDATE
Post by gore2424 on Jun 12^th, 2002, 12:35am

Hello everyone
I had brain surgery 3 weeks ago today and they cut my trigeminal nerve inside my skull.I still havent had a headache since and after 15 days didnt have to take any pain pills at all.I know you all are asking yourselfs that this is a drastic way to get the "DEMON" out of the head.But i am feeling great only thing i still have to get used to is the whole right side of face is numb and will be for rest of my life and sometimes i bite my inside cheek or lip.Just have to adjust to it . I will give a update every 2 or 3 weeks to let you all know how i am.
Thank you for reading this info and if anyone has any questions you may e-mail me or post and i will answer your questions.

Terry,

Thank you for the update and I'm glad to hear you're doing well.

Please do keep us informed. Your type of surgery has been talked about several times here - with drastically mixed reviews. The idea scares the hell out of me.

I suspect that many people would like to hear about your long-term progress as time goes on.

Marc

terry,

happy to hear that you are pain-free! i understand that the side of the face remains numb but was wondering if that affects any physical features, such as .....face drooping or anything? keep us up dated on your condition and so glad your pain is gone
