Trigeminal neuralgia patient testimonial- Deemawatee Seetohul
My name is Seetohul Deemawatee. I am from Mauritius.
I had Trigeminal Neuralgia, and I suffered from this for nearly 6 years. The pain would aggravate when I swallowed, or talked 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 was recieving medical treatment for my trigeminal neuralgia for many years, but I still had pain.
While we researched for a neurosurgeon who could treat me, I saw a Trigeminal neuralgia youtube video. This was Dr Jaydev Panchwagh, who we realized had an extensive experience in Trigeminal neuralgia surgery. He has treated a lot of international patients and have a helpful international patient services desk.
They say “Medical tourism in India is quite advanced, and they get many patients from all over the world. We try to make the patients comfortable even though there are differences in language and culture.”
I am writing this and giving this interview on the twelfth day after the microvascular decompression surgery. This was done as treatment for my Trigeminal Neuralgia by Dr Jaydev Panchwagh. Here I recieved the best treatment for trigeminal neuralgia. He is one of the best Indian neurosurgeons for Trigeminal neuralgia surgery.
And 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 my MVD surgery. I had to discontinue it because I had great 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 available. 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. 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.
