Testimonial Seetohul Deemawatee

My name is Seetohul Deemawtee. I am from Mauritius. I had Trigeminal Neuralgia. I suffered from this for nearly 6 years. The pain would aggravate when I swallowed, or talkef or drank water or brushed teeth or even when the breeze of the fan used to touch my cheek. The pain was electric shock like kind of pain. I am writing this and giving this interview on the twelfth day after the microvascular decompression operation done as treatment for my Trigeminal Neuralgia. I feel excellent and I am very happy. I have a smile on my face, I can talk, I can eat, I am happy. I was actually taking a course in singing before this operation and I had very much difficulty in actually singing when I had the pain. But now so soon after the operation I have a smile on my face and I am able to sing and I can enjoy my singing.

There are many patients who suffer from Trigeminal Neuralgia and they are not aware about the treatment options that are there. I would like to make all these patients aware that surgery is the only permanent option as treatment for Trigeminal Neuralgia. How many patients are afraid of surgery because it is brain surgery, after all. There is no need to be afraid of operation

I have undergone the operation and I know. Surgery is surgery after all. There will be some pain at the site of the operation. There will be some difficulties, but the relief that is there from the neuralgic pain is almost immediate, and I am very happy. I write this on the 12th day after my operation. So right now I feel a little weak on the whole, maybe because of the antibiotics and other things, but overall, I am fine.
