As a doctor, the patients I've seen who suffer from this disease always stuck with me the most, and I find myself looking up videos about people who suffer from TN so that I can hopefully be able to recognize it whenever I see it, because it is very much true that it goes ignored and unnoticed by health care professionals all the time, for decades in some cases. It takes a lot of courage and mental fortitude to continue the fight against this disease, I pray and believe in you all.

I’m 22F and I had TWO doctors diagnose me with this, without the other knowing in the same day. This was yesterday. I was so sure I was going to have to over explain for anyone to take me seriously, with my being so young, and hearing how rare this is beforehand, but they both did and I was so ecstatic I finally was going to get help. One was a female doctor at Fastmed, and the other was a Male Physician at My local emergency room. I’m so happy I was diagnosed correctly, and so quickly. I only had to handle about 4 days of intense waves of pain, lasting 2 minutes every hour, preventing me from sleeping. Who knew a person could make it through almost 3 days only sleeping about 5 minutes 😅. I thought I had an infection in my jaw. At the ER, he claimed he had only diagnosed about 3 people since he had started his career, with this disease. I believe I was the youngest so far. I know I’m lucky I was given a medication and diagnosis so soon. Others just aren’t as lucky, sadly. I’m now on an anticonvulsant, and pain killers. I’ll be visiting a neurologist soon to find out just how serious My case scenario is. Especially considering mine is suspected to have been brought on by a tooth extraction. I’ve heard the nerves if caused by my extraction, may take up to a year to heal... I really hope this isn’t permanent for me.. it takes extremely strong women and men to handle this type of pain... and I just don’t think I’m cut out for this. Anyways... I’m writing you this comment to say. It’s working. People are hearing about this more than around the time this video released, and to thank you, for actually taking the time to familiarize yourself with these uncommon/rare conditions. It’s because of people like you, that we at least can stand a fighting chance combatting this with medications early on improving our quality of life before it becomes overwhelmingly draining.

Hi there! I know I'm about a year from when you wrote this, but I can tell you this, in my experience: It's been an up and downhill battle, mostly in a sense of it being uphill, then tumbling down (lol...to have a sense of humor kind of helps). There are days where it's a light "crawl" in certain spots, and then, there are days upon days, nights upon nights, where I literally just want to rip my flesh off. When a "flare up" occurs (for lack of better terminology at this time), it's NOT like having a cut on your arm, or a broken leg...you KNOW where that pain is going to come from. With TN though, it's ALWAYS random where it strikes. I think for my case, I have a nerve that had gotten lodged between two blood vessels (not sure how), that, over the years (17 to this time), as the blood vessels course blood through, they have been degrading the myelin sheath to a point that (as an example) is like a frayed USB cord. The best example I can give is exampled here in this diagram: www.mayoclinic.org/-/media/kcms/gbs/patient-consumer/images/2017/10/16/14/41/mcdc7_nerve-myelin-sheath-guillain-barre-8col.jpg ...with the exception that it's not guillain-barre disease, the effects are the same (as is with MS; amongst others). I have more I can explain, but typing it, I'd rather speak it aloud! lol #ThisTooShallPass

I can tolerate the burning most of the time. But when the stabbing and electrical shocks start, I'm on my knees crying like a baby. I am thankful that mine comes and goes. I couldn't deal with this pain if it never went away. I'm lucky that I usually go for months without pain. My attacks usually only last two or three days, however every time it comes back the attacks lasts longer. I've been dealing with my most recent episode for a week and it's been the worst one yet. Praying for relief for all those suffering this horrible disease.

Kyle Norman My best wishes to you! Here is my experience; on the 4th day of an episode I tried crystal methamphetamine in desperation. (How could it hurt any worse? And if it were to hurt worse, maybe that would give me the courage to make the pain stop finally once and for all.) I have a history with the drug - I'm not here to blow smoke up anyone's behind. I'm trying to push for a study because at the time, I also thought "hey it might help". Scared as Hell I took a tiny puff off of the meth pipe, there was no way I would snort it!!!! The pain in my face was already bad enough. Eating it would have taken too long to feel the effects and the suspense was already killing me (pardon the pun). I waited a second and THERE WAS NO PAIN! I thought I had to be making it up. I touched my cheek. The musculature was tender, my face, neck ear, head all were tender to touch but the pain was gone. I took another 'hit', this time a decent one and returned to life. That was three years ago! In the past 3 years, there have been times I could poke around on my cheek and find "the spot", other times I have been unable to palpate it at all. No pain! I do a small amount when I wake up then get busy with life. Around lunch time, AFTER I eat I do another lesser 'dose'. In the evening I do the same as I did that morning and then around 10pm I do a very small amount - never after midnight. Stimulants have been recognized as a useful tool in pain management since WWII! There is caffeine in BC Powder. Never do I see it listed for use in this condition... Fishbowl fog dummy drugs then brain surgery when you can't handle being a zombie any more, that's it. And the surgery isn't 100% effective and lasts as long as 10 years. So you still live in fear - not that I don't. There is no study, no testing, this might stop working tomorrow. I understand the danger there. If it did, I would try increasing my dose and there lies madness! But that's because I don't have a doctor's help and won't get it until I flare up and get a proper diagnosis. I've tried to stop my 'medicine'. I'm in trouble and next time I pee dirty, I get violated. I was 3 days without and the stress was getting to me. I felt my cheek 'draw up' a few times (the tic) and when there was a light flash of pain, I reached for that pipe again. And (luckily) the pain stopped. There needs to be a study! All pain management protocols call for at least consideration of amphetamines. Why is it not used for TN sufferers? Is it because the surgical intervention does not eradicate use of the meds? Is this one condition where neurologists and surgeons don't have to compete for our business, they can share the wealth? It is a terrible thought! Sorry this is so long. People that love me, care about me, are asking me to risk an episode. I've tried, I may try again but I'm terrified. I wouldn't wish that pain on anyone - except child abusers and that only because it would stop the abuse. Not as a punishment, it is too cruel for even them! I can't help but feel hurt family and friends are wishing that pain on me. I feel stupid and weak that I won't even risk an episode. Not to save my skin and not to help you. I'm sorry. If they put me in jail, I'll have no choice... It's a pretty scary prospect. My only hope is to find a physician some where on this planet that will write me a prescription for Desoxyn. Talk to your doctor. Ask him to at least let you try. Big Pharma does have a small enough dose to use this drug effectively without going over the line into 'tweaking' where we don't want to go, that is a nasty road. Believe me, I've been there! If you hear of a study or your doctor actually cares, please let me know

Kathy Costelloe thank you, I'm doing the best I can imagine. A couple of days ago I went to walk in clinic. Waiting, I thought "this is corporate! Duh." But I saw the Dr anyway. Just as the bored 'oh, a drug seeker' affect presented and she mentioned anticonvulsants, I rattled off the dose of a 13yr sufferer (3600mg Gabapentin, 400mg Carbamazepine, 30mg Baclofen + 8 other meds to combat those). She was shocked. We discussed the possibility of placebo. We talked about the risk of losing control of the pain and the very real possibility that I'd never rein it in again... She gave me the names of 3 local neurologists that may help me. She did not charge me for the hour she spent with me. "Don't give up. Push, insist, take the evidence that you brought here today. Your research is sound. Do not take no for an answer!" Yep, thanks to her, I'm doing pretty damned well.

Truly words cannot describe this pain. I have had chronic pain for years but nothing comes close to this. Mine is caused by a tumor but I've been told surgery is possibly too dangerous. People just don't understand something so simple as taking a sip of water can set it off. Then it goes away just as fast as it came. The comment in the video about the skull splitting open or an ice pick going into your brain is it good description. I've been in chronic pain for about 20 years. The TN started six years ago but would go away years at a time. Then last year it came back to stay. I had gamma knife and it went away for two months. Now back worse than ever with the added sypmtom of the fire inside that was described in the video. All of these years going through pain and painful procedures, i have never vocalized my suffering but with this, i scream, i fall to my knees, i punch my body during an attack. If there is a hell, this it. And to add insult, people think you are being overdramatic or faking or cant handle pain. Not having emotional support is so isolating. To anyone reading this, you are not alone, i believe you, and i am so sorry you are suffering. You do not deseve this.

No I didn’t have any previous injury to the Brain it happened all of a sudden with terrible stabbing down my face and into my back teeth, I foolishly went to a dentist and had my teeth removed on two separate occasions, big mistake. To cut a very long story short after years on medication I was taken in for surgery where they go into the Brain at the bottom of the skull you can see the procedure here on KZfaq..I never felt that pain again. I will never forget it though I was alone and in a very dark place..I will say a little prayer for you that you will get peace..Best wishes to you.

While I don’t have trigeminal neuralgia , I know exactly how you feel. I too suffer from invisible disability, I am fully legally disabled, but if you look at me and didn’t know me you would assume I am perfectly healthy man, but you would be dead wrong. I won’t get into my issues too much, suffice it to say I’ve been in severe crippling agony for the past 28 years of my life. I am now 48, can’t work, and have 11 chronic and agonizing diseases that are completely destroyed my life in every aspect possible, yet people take one look and say you look terrific, or accuse me of faking all of it so I don’t have to go to work, I wish to God I could go to work, instead of facing this hell. I actually have never heard of this disease before, tonight is the first time I’m hearing about it, and I feel so so sorry for every single person that suffers from this. There’s nothing worse than having to deal with such a crippling illness, but then to have people accuse you of faking it makes it that much harder to live with. There have been many many days that I wanted to kill myself, including today, because you reach a point where the pain is the only thing you can think of. When you’re in crippling debilitating agony, and have people tell you that you’re faking it, just pushes your right over the edge, who wants to live like that? I’ve never attempted suicide yet, but I assure you that if I try I will succeed, because I in no way want to live like this anymore, and please don’t judge until you’ve been in our shoes. My heart goes out to all these people! It may sound crazy, but there are many many times I wish I had been amputated limb, a disability that people could actually see, so I wouldn’t have to face a barrage of stupid question, and ignorant looks. I beg all of you, have compassion for these people, because you have absolutely no idea of the hell they are forced to endure on a daily basis. All my hopes and compassion to you all, You’re not alone😰❤️😰

Hi saw your post From four years ago regarding your failed MVP for a typical TN. I have the same thing got it 15 years ago after dental surgery nothing helps I take pain meds to take a tiny edge off but mostly in severe pain 24 seven. Wondering how you were doing? And if you have tried anything else that helped? I am in Southern California, I tend to stay offsite because it just depresses me but I’m so desperate I’m at it again. Look forward to hearing from you.

I was diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia in 2013. Things seemed to be going great,but 3 years later,it came back hard. I started missing lots of work because the pain was unbearable. I was put on 4 different meds until finally gabapentin took the edge off. Now,in 2019 I have been attacked every day with excruciating pain. Missing days of work,working in severe pain. I'm tired of being in constant pain and I'm ready to give in to surgery. My neurologist doesn't have an opening until December!!!! How am I supposed to bear that much pain until then? I was ready to end everything on numerous occasions due to the excruciating pain. I'm praying that God steps in and removes this from my life. To all who are suffering,we need to stick together and keep the faith. Let's claim this victory.

I've had Trigeminal Neuralgia for the last 5 years or so. In the last couple of years, it's taken nearly everything from me: my ability to work, my happiness, my marriage, my health, and I am starting to feel like my sanity as well. I leave the house maybe twice a month. My pain is constant, severe, and daily. Now, I have severe anxiety about being in public or even stepping outside my house. I save what little strength I have to take care of my son, whom I have full custody of. I've tried every medication my insurance will pay for and had an injection directly into the nerve. Nothing helps much, and nearly every medication makes me severely drowsy and a virtual zombie. I totally understand why they call this "The Suicide Disease"...the pain is so severe that there are times you'll do anything to escape it.

I do a small amount when I wake up then get busy with life. Around lunch time, AFTER I eat I do another lesser 'dose'. In the evening I do the same as I did that morning and then around 10pm I do a very small amount - never after midnight. Stimulants have been recognized as a useful tool in pain management since WWII! There is caffeine in BC Powder. Never do I see it listed for use in this condition... Fishbowl fog dummy drugs then brain surgery when you can't handle being a zombie any more, that's it. And the surgery isn't 100% effective and lasts as long as 10 years. So you still live in fear - not that I don't. There is no study, no testing, this might stop working tomorrow. I understand the danger there.

dave venable My best wishes to you! Here is my experience; on the 4th day of an episode I tried crystal methamphetamine in desperation. (How could it hurt any worse? And if it were to hurt worse, maybe that would give me the courage to make the pain stop finally once and for all.) I have a history with the drug - I'm not here to blow smoke up anyone's behind. I'm trying to push for a study because at the time, I also thought "hey it might help". Scared as Hell I took a tiny puff off of the meth pipe, there was no way I would snort it!!!! The pain in my face was already bad enough. Eating it would have taken too long to feel the effects and the suspense was already killing me (pardon the pun). I waited a second and THERE WAS NO PAIN! I thought I had to be making it up. I touched my cheek. The musculature was tender, my face, neck ear, head all were tender to touch but the pain was gone. I took another 'hit', this time a decent one and returned to life. That was three years ago! In the past 3 years, there have been times I could poke around on my cheek and find "the spot", other times I have been unable to palpate it at all. No pain! I do a small amount when I wake up then get busy with life. Around lunch time, AFTER I eat I do another lesser 'dose'. In the evening I do the same as I did that morning and then around 10pm I do a very small amount - never after midnight. Stimulants have been recognized as a useful tool in pain management since WWII! There is caffeine in BC Powder. Never do I see it listed for use in this condition... Fishbowl fog dummy drugs then brain surgery when you can't handle being a zombie any more, that's it. And the surgery isn't 100% effective and lasts as long as 10 years. So you still live in fear - not that I don't. There is no study, no testing, this might stop working tomorrow. I understand the danger there. If it did, I would try increasing my dose and there lies madness! But that's because I don't have a doctor's help and won't get it until I flare up and get a proper diagnosis. I've tried to stop my 'medicine'. I'm in trouble and next time I pee dirty, I get violated. I was 3 days without and the stress was getting to me. I felt my cheek 'draw up' a few times (the tic) and when there was a light flash of pain, I reached for that pipe again. And (luckily) the pain stopped. There needs to be a study!

I've been dealing with this for a little over 8 years now. I've been on just about every medication there is and have had horrible side effects to just about all of them except for the one I've been on for several years now. It.....helps... but it certainly doesn't get rid of it by any stretch. What is worse is that I was diagnosed with it a few months before my youngest child was born so he has never known me not to be in pain and he now has a phobia of storms (one of my biggest triggers is changes in barometric pressures). Flying is... well I am in so much pain that I have to take enough meds to knock me out and even then I am semi-conscious and am clutching my head in horrendous pain the entire time, but am otherwise unaware of anything else going on around me. Apparently I tend to scare the crap out of the flight attendants. Even driving for too long, or over terrain that is too hilly or large bridges can mess me up pretty bad. Opening the oven and the sudden change in temperature... just so many things that you take for granted prior to this condition and now you realize just how much they effect you. When the migraines hit people at work ask me all the time how I can stay at work with a migraine and I respond, "with my TN a migraine is a good day, cause it could be so much worse if one of the other two branches flared up instead". I have days I can barely talk, days I can't really eat. So yeah, a migraine is no big deal. 🤣

I've always been a half glass full type of person yet TN challenges my optimism as this affliction is so relentless and it just feels hopeless. Not to mention the rising cost of healthcare combined with the lack of support and treatment for this condition. This thing has killed my 'sliver-lining' mentality. Some people dream of hitting the lotto, I dream of a TN free existence. My heart goes out to my fellow TN sufferers. I'm so sorry this happened to you, to us, and to anybody, ever.

The first time I had an attack of TN was in 2016. I was going for a weekend trip to Madrid and the pain in my jaw did not allow me to eat anything, not even soft food like the Spanish flan that I adore. I didn't know what was happening to me as I had never heard of the trigeminal nerve. I thought it was something with my teeth. Coming back home I ran to a dentist who took off a perfectly healthy molar. Only after several visit to doctors I was diagnosed correctly and prescribed with a medication - Carbamazepine - that made the pain disappear almost instantly. I thought it was a one time problem, but a few months later the pain came back. That time the medication took several weeks to eliminate the pain. Again, a few months later the same story but this time the pain did not disappear completely and I had to continue taking the med day after day, in spite of the side effects. At least I could live, even if permanently tired and feeling low. Two and half months ago the pain has returned, with a vengeance. Even with massive dosage of Carbamazepine and Codeine it never goes away. I cannot even sleep in horizontal, because the position brings the pain to the maximum level. I don't know how long I can continue in this way. Doctors do not seem to take it seriously. I am making plans to end my life if I cannot feel better soon.

I have atypical TN related to 3 sinus surgeries. Have you tried Cyber Knife? I’ve dealt with all the drugs, injections, acupuncture, anti seizure meds , blocks and cerebral neurological stimulator with no relief. I’ve had TN for 30+ years. I understand your need for relief. The CyberKnife took 18 months before I noticed a difference. I was able to reduce my meds during that time. and began to recognize myself. But the pain is slowly and steadily returning. I’m going to repeat the CK in a few weeks. It did give me about 4 years of considerable relief. My pain is 24/7 with burning, deep, and achy pain with several triggers daily. And I do have ice pick stabbing pain in addition. I hope this will help you. You are not alone in this hell.

I was pregnant when I had my first attack. Started with a deep, dull ache in my jaw. Drs, dentists, Drs dentist but no joy. Neurologist said there was nothing wrong with me. Holed up in my room, tearing out my hair by the roots, punching myself and slamming my head against the wall was my life. Without the baby inside me, I wouldn't be here. Those tablets were in my palm. I'd given birth to my daughter 2 yrs prior. She came out bum first and and I birthed her naturally without any pain relief. I'd do that again 100 times rather than suffer through TN for an hour. A new Dr prescribed Pregabalin which has it under control. My heart goes out to all who are still struggling ❤❤

I have had TN1 since 2006, I am furious at the World Health Organization for not recognizing TN, which would free up federal funding for research as well as get recognition from all areas of the medical community!!!! People just have no idea what is really happening to us.....the pain, fear, isolation and depression are almost too much for any person to endure. I am so angry!!

I have suffered with TN for 20 years and the pain is constant and never goes away! There are times the pain is so severe that I think of killing myself! The pain I have spreads out to three different locations at the same time and that is my left ear, left jaw, and the left side of my throat! The pain in my ear feels like someone is piercing my ear drum with a very sharp pick! My jaw feels like my jaw bone is being crushed in a vice and my throat feels like a shocking knife stabbing me in the back of my throat or like a bumblebee constantly stinging me! The pain normally is around a 4-5 scale and without warning shoots up to a 10! When this happens I just completely stop doing anything! I grab my face and squeeze as hard as I can and just groan as loud as I can until it subsides! The Dr told me he could take out the nerve but my face would drop as though I had a stroke and would have to have all my teeth removed from the left side to prevent myself from accidentally chewing my cheek and tongue! I’ve tried meds that seemed to help but was diagnosed 3 years ago with leukemia and had to stop those meds because I cant mix them with the chemo therapy drugs. Having said all that I found my faith and trust in Jesus Christ has helped me more than anything! Because I know He is the creator and the creator can fix what is broken! Although I still suffer with TN and now leukemia, Jesus has given me the strength to endure it! When the Dr’s are unable to help, Jesus Christ can fix anything! I give all praise to Jesus.

OMG! THIS IS ME! I have been having this FOR YEARS thinking I had ear infections and would go to a walk in clinic and they would tell me my EARS LOOK FINE! I would tell them, "How is that possible with the PAIN I AM HAVING"? I had an ENT work up years ago and they found NOTHING. The saddest part is I am a NURSE and NEVER GAVE A THOUGHT TO A NEUROLOGICAL ISSUE! Not until a few days ago, when I was describing my symptoms to my niece (also a nurse) who said, "It sounds like you need a neuro consult". So I started researching and came across videos describing TN and I just wanted to cry because I knew EXACTLY what they were describing and felt I finally wasn't CRAZY!!! After years of being "blown off" by so many doctors I now know... I AM NOT CRAZY! Although I am extremely grateful I have not suffered near as much as many describe in this video. I know the pain but it is very intermittent (thankfully) but seems to be getting worse. I am so thankful my niece mentioned what I vaguely remembered from nursing school so many years ago. I feel so STUPID that I didn't even think of it and should have been more insistent with the doctors. Thank you for sharing your stories.

The pain for me started in 2010. The pain was strictly on the right side in the beginning but was sporadic and would only happen for a few days or a week or so every few months. I didn't get officially diagnosed until 2016 when my TN started on the LEFT side of my face as well and it got so bad that the flare lasted 10 months. I tried so many things before I finally had an MVD in May 2017 (I was 29). Then in the first week of April of this year my TN on the right came back with a vengeance. It's flared non-stop for almost three months and I'm struggling as I'm also having sporadic flares on the left now too and where I live there isn't a neurologist who takes my insurance so I had to be referred out and can't even see a neurologist until August so I'm relying on my PCP for help in managing pain and due to recently being diagnosed with several health issues she's worried about my reactions to meds (I have MCAS so it's a valid fear) so I only have Gabapentin, Tylenol, and alpha lipoic acid for pain management (though she did tell me it was okay to take one of my valium, which are for my back, if I needed it). I just try and take it day by day but I barely survived the ten month flare on the left side five years ago. So this flare scares me so much. My heart goes out to everyone who is dealing with this agony.

I have Trigeminal neuralgia. Its a nightmare. Ive had mvd surgery August 8. I just had Percutaneous balloon compression 5 days ago. Now only my tooth hurts. It constantly throbs and sometimes pain will spike. I can deal with this quietly atleast. Im having the top right jaw tooth pulled. Its a failed root canal. I have had Trigeminal neuralgia 21 months. I got this root canal 21 months ago. Im hoping this stops the pain because its been causing it. I just need it to stop. I cant tske care of my kids, my house, my life. My husband has to do it all. We are drowning in stress and misery. Ive only had bad pain twice in 5 days. So thats great. None would be good. Before ballon surgery i was having pain 8 to 14 times every 24 hours. I keep a constant ache 24/7. Its alot better after ballon surgery. Its now just the top right jaw tooth instead of my entire right side of my face. When i touch the pne tooth it aches more. Other teeth dont do that. Hurts to bite down. Im hoping it will stop pain if i remove it, not cause more. This really has ruined my whole life. I too am afraid to leave the house alone. Im afraid to make phone calls. Im afraid to lay down. Laying down is a big trigger. Life is better now after balloon surgery. The constant ache is and tooth pain is easier to deal with then my entire face trying to kill me with pain. I have screamed my self horse its hurt so bad and for so long. Each pain episode lasts on average 40 minutes to a hour. Trigeminal neuralgia is life ending nightmare of nothing but pain and misery.

Everything i get seems to hit me in the right side of the face. Figured id update incase someone like me has crummy luck too. I was actually offended when new neuro said cluster headaches.

I'm a little bit frustrated because I have done this and got my life back and I have been spreading this info for a two day and I don't think anyone tried it...this puzzles me. This is what helped me a lot... Use blender or nutri-bullet: 1. Organic Ginger as long as thumb 2. 1 and a half Organic Lemons 3. One flat teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper 4. 4 1/2 Cups of Organic Black or dark Purple Grapes 5. One to 3/4 Organic Mango. I see that most medications are not working so why you wouldn't try something natural which has giving me positive results? Blend this combination you should get like three 8oz cups. The Mango is not as important as the other ingredients. I had this and started to fell relief within 35 mins...honestly! No bullshit! The ginger and cayenne pepper are anti-inflammatory and the grapes and lemons work more for your Lymphatic system. The pain I felt before was like a electrify knife is being shoved into my brain. The jolts that I got from that sensation/pain was unbearable...this was happening like every minute constantly. I am going to be consuming this combination for several days as meals and also other fruits...going raw. I had 9 cups yesterday and my pain went from a 10 plus to 2. I think if I continue the combination will nullify the inflammation. If you can try to cut back on acid foods like meat, chicken and diary...they do more harm than heal. Please acknowledge if you read this, I need to get the word out because it works. Always consult your health care professional to see if you are allergic to any of the ingredients above. Lets me know if you try it. Show less REPLY

I wish that I could tell my story, but...I really have nowhere to go! I have been living with TN for 17 years now, and, I've been poor half of my life. My dad owned a grocery store that made millions a year, but when it ended in 2003, I didn't know how tough life would be afterwards, as TN started in 2006...and there wasn't a lot of research back then about it! I'm 39 now, and it has caused me to scratch, and punch, and slap at my face and scalp, screaming at the top of my lungs, just because I would rather feel a "lighter" pain than this one... When I was diagnosed in 2011, the pain was only on my scalp, and on my eyebrow, but, it has developed into atypical...it's on BOTH sides of my face, and now affects: both temples both ears back of my head my whole chin both eyebrows my neck a portion of my right clavicle (weird??) and worst of all, BOTH NOSTRILS...the most sensitive part of my face!! The frequency has increased, as has the INTENSITY, and at times, it's the shocking, at times its the crawling, at times its the burning, and at worst, it's all of them, making rounds around my head, making me scream and shout......the worst thing I had ever done, was bash my head into drywall (soft wall, but a wall nonetheless!) Do I have a mental condition?? IF so, it's because of this TERRIBLE TORMENT. I can't eat right, I can't sleep right, sometimes being woken up because of it...I don't shower as much anymore because I've just given up on everyday life. I can't stand it, after 17 YEARS, I just don't know what else to do! I do take 5 medicines for it (it's all i can afford): Gabapentin (600MG, 1 tablet, 4 times a day [2400MG]) Carbamazepine (200MG, 1 tablet, split in half, 4 times a day [800MG]) Baclofen (20MG, 1 tablet, also split in half, 4 times a day [80MG]) And two over-the-counter meds: Ibuprophen (200MG, three tablets, 4 times a day [2400MG]...WAY over the limit, I know) and Bayer Back and Body (500MG, two tablets, 4 times a day [4000]...ALSO way over) My regular meds are as they should be, but I have been taking the two NSAIDS (AGAIN, I know...too many NSAIDS, PLUS mixing two different NSAIDS runs the risk of one potentially cancelling the other, but that has not been the case here), because the medicine by itself hasn't been enough to cope with the TORMENT...and yet, most days, I only get about 2 hours each 6 hour block that I take them, where I get any "relief..." that is, IF they work at all. Most days anymore though I find that these medicines I have become used to, and just don't cut it...there are days they do work, and I'm glad, because I can breathe again, BUT, the problem is: WhenEVER I have pain remission, when the pain strikes back up, it's TWICE, sometimes QUADRUPLE times worse than before!! I keep myself depressed, because I have seen the non-invasive surgery called "Gammaknife" (or CyberKnife) Radiosurgery...and I am depressed about it because I CANNOT afford it...I live in Kansas, and they run about 8,000 to 12,000 EASILY...and, I'm aware of the statistics (approx. 90 percent have had remission from 19 months to 5 years), but IF I could've afforded it, I STILL WOULD'VE GIVEN IT A TRY!! I've got free healthcare through Ambetter, but it wouldn't cover such a surgery...so, catch 22 for me, i suppose. I don't know what else to do...I am one of those cases that hurts themselves just to feel a pain that is different than this one, but I KNOW that it's causing me more pain, and MOST LIKELY making the TN worse.....and NO...I know it's called the "suicide disease," But, that's not in my Belief...I'm a Believer in Christ Jesus, and I REFUSE to take my own life....I would RATHER suffer the pain. But, STILL, I just...I, I don't even know what to say!!! I dunno...I just wanted to share a story that is shown through the eyes of a poor man, who has no way of getting help, can't afford it, has no defenses, no where to run, I can't stand, run, sit, stand, lay, or anywhere else I can go to escape it. Rest assured, I want you to know, for the rest of you, there's still Hope...I know there is, because I Know Him... ....what we face here on this earth, DOESN'T COMPARE to The Glory to be seen later...... ....I just wish there was a way that I could enjoy a little bit of it down here.

@@DavidAlegria Ah, and a fellow brother in Christ Jesus! Prayer for you, likewise beloved child of The Truth! You know what? I had a brief period where I was able to use Oxycodone with Tylenol (10/3.25) for a brief period of time, and honestly, it was the only prescription drug that ever took the pain away. They only lasted about 4 hours, give or take, but they worked...and I was able to concentrate on my school work (during that time, mid-2012). However, I decided not to continue use of them because they are an opioid, and I did not want long term dependency, so I had my doctor discontinue it. I would, however, reconsider use of it for a small period of time, until I am eligible for the Gamma Knife Radiosurgery. I won't use morphine or methadone. Morphine would keep me WAY too drowsy for work, and I know that methadone is what they give to meth/heroine addicts to ween them off. I'm neither of those (poor folks!!!). Fentanyl...yeah, I will never use that, as there have been too many reports of major damage to the body, and deaths...I'll pass! thank you for reminding me, though! I'm going to talk to my doctor about it. Ever since 2012, I've been skeptical about asking for oxycodone BECAUSE it's an opioid, and I would NEVER want to be "blacklisted," or "red labeled," or whatever they call it, lol. God Bless you, David...I hope we can talk sometime again. I rarely ever get the chance to talk to someone who ACTUALLY understands the torment-like pain that stops me in my tracks, practically from doing anything!

April will be 3 years. We gotta get a cure. I'm tired of this living hell. I used to be so strong. Worked in warehouse for 6 years, could live 90 pounds and head bang at Rock shows. Now, most days my 11 lb cat is hard to pick up, even if I turn my head too quick I can get dizzy and sometimes pass out and basically just had to give up my social life and going to live music. I'v literally had to change and give up my whole life. Because I'm not missing an arm or a leg or I don't have full-blown cancer, the intensity of my pain gets blown off so much. I have no support from my family and one by one "friends" have fallen off. But of course when I was going up doing well in life. Taking cute pictures posting them on social media people wanted to hang around. I can't do this for the rest of my life I'm not even 29 yet. Ever since I was 6 years old and I understood what money was I wanted to get a house for my mom and I, since she can't take care of herself. I worked really hard jobs to get high paying money and one after another I've just had health issues for the last 7 years. I feel like my life ended at 22 and I've just been a ghost trying to push through. I can't do this forever alone and I shouldn't have to. I particularly got my trigeminal neuralgia from a ping pong size tumor wrapped around the trigeminal nerve. Three brain surgeries later the damage was already done. I don't understand how the body could be in so much pain and still not die. I used to be so kind and loving. I would always get compliments about my energy. Even from a young child I would draw people towards me. I let too many of the wrong people in and I've been very sick since. My soul is breaking. #trigeminalneuralgia

Bob Chan on KZfaq (a herbal doctor) explains what causes TN and shows you exercises to get rid of the pain. I am almost pain free now because of the exercises. I found out that sleeping with a fan and having the air conditioning full blast on my face in the car is what caused the TN. I knew I was healthy and that something caused the facial pain.
