[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 623942, member: 1233"] Trigeminal Neuralgia can be horrific, FAR more than many people have any clue of. One of my great aunts was the world's biggest character an she developed TN after dental work. At one point we were VERY afraid something like dementia was hitting her because she lost that 'spark' that made her who she was. It was pain from TN causing it. She didn't want to complain so she hadn't told the doctor. We did get some relief for her, esp after some other dental work was done. The pain from it could have landed her in some sort of nursing home if we had not figured it out because it had that big an effect on her. I am glad you have help with this, Nomad. AI truly hoovers. It is such a widespread and scary group of diseases and so often we females are told it is all in our heads until it is way late to have the most effective treatments work. If I ever take up a real crusade it will be to get doctors to stop thinking that women are just exaggerating or it is all in our heads. In my town it is a HUGE problem for female health care. Amanda, I am sorry you are dealing with this. It is a tough road. Reaching out to others who have been there done that/are-there-doing-that is one of the best ways to figure out what is going on for yourself. Most of my current diagnosis's were found on my own and then I took info to the docs on what was going on and what I thought it was, and THEN they offered help other than referral to tdocs/psychiatrists. You simply MUST be your own best advocate when it comes to your body. [/QUOTE]
