    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.

    I have been having this HFS since 2010. I want to undergo surgery. How much does the surgery cost?

    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.

    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!

    My father has been suffering with this for almost 3 years. Getting worse. Affecting his sight.
    He has tried medication and Botox. Helped just a little bit.
    We live in Nashville TN. So you recommend a Doctor in this area?
    Would appreciate your feedback.

    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?
