Support Group Leader

 

Lana Updike

I am a TNA support group co-leader for Metro Detroit and have had TN for 17 years with having Glycerol Rezotomy's 3 times. The right side of my face is numb but it is well worth having numbness without having pain. Had my last successful glycerol procedure done by Dr. Ken Casey in May of 2007. You can't imagine the relief of having so much pain and then waking up after surgery with NO pain what-so-ever. We are looking forward to welcoming everyone to Detroit (Dearborn is a suburb right outside Detroit) in September. Hope to see you there.
