In 2015 I started having numbness and tingling on right side of face and scalp. 

It gradually became worse and turned to horrific stabbing pain. I was suicidal. 

In 2020 a doctor finally listened to me and ordered an MRI. The images showed a complete collapse of the connective tissues in my cervical spine and brain stem.. It would cause inflammation and irritation of the nerves that innervate the right side of my face. 

I had a complete cervical spine reconstruction including several Micro Vascular Decompression procedures. 

Although it helped, it did not work completely. I still have terrible flares. I just try to remain viable to be a provider and protector for my family.
