It has been over 20 yrs since my first diagnosis. Botox was offered at the time, I chose to not do that. The nerve damage is a lot worse now. I continue to live on with it. I do not have health insurance any longer. Some days are good others not so good.
Thank you so much for this very comprehensive information about hemifacial spasm. This is very important and I appreciate your willingness to share and let us know that there is hope .❤️
Too much informative ...thank you sir
Thanks alot.
Hello Doctor, Thank you so much for sharing information about Hemi facial! I had the MVD surgery about 5 weeks ago, and my spasms have subsided about 75%. I am just curious if the Teflon was placed and it got separated the nerve from touching the blood vessels, why there are still residual spasms after surgery? Could you explain little bit about it? Thank you!
If you peoples lieve in springfield ma in baystate hospital that's where l having mine he is a doctor for 45 year
💝
L been having it for 4 year on my surgery is for September 30 they give medicine botox and is getting worse my neurologist say l have to have surgery 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
How can you differentiate between med-induced spasm, and compression? What if MRI doesn’t show compression but still have symptoms? I have TN and hemifacial spasm symptoms, but my neuro says my hemifacial spasms are unusual because they last so long? And are more intense and sustained than usual.
Doctor Is there any side effects if any surgery is required?
Hi doc how to contact you ..I reallly need your help about my condition

I live in Austin, Texas. To make an appt with you, do I need to be referred by my general physician?

I’ve been having on and off twitching, for maybe 2 years now. I’m pretty sure it started on the left side but it’s now on the right side. I hate the fact most say it will only get worse. I’m gonna seek out a neurologist. Did you mean ear or eye @2:21?

No Botox
Suffering from this kind of illness is really embarassing...😭 Bottox is just a temporary relief from twitching for just few months....and the side effect is even worst...because it affects the facial appearance every time i smile😭...it's a curse.... We don't have surgery here in the philippines
