Trigeminal Neuralgia

Has anyone heard of this illness before? It is new to me. But I've recently heard of a few people I know that suffer from this.

It's also called tic doloreaux and is quite painful from what I know. It is damage or swelling of one of the cranial nerves and can cause pain, burning, pins and needles, and/or paralysis of one side of the face. I haven't researched it lately, but there is probably quite a bit of information on sites like WebMD>

yonuh,
Every little while a person hears of another new illness. This one sounds like no fun at all. Geese! We'd better add people
suffering with this stuff, on our prayer lists.

Oh Mountain Ash, I'm so sorry that you have this illness. You are quite the brave one, not mentioning this before. Hopefully you don't have this too, Songbird. My mother had a bout, and it is truly horrible.

Ladies, ladies, help is on the way. Here's a link to a post titled Wicked Toothache. I had TN, but when it started I thought it was a toothache. Please begin at the beginning and read all the way through the post because I was cured by the two meds my doctor gave me. Hope and pray this helps. PM me if you want to know more.

I brought this back to the top. FYI: I updated the Wicked Toothache post for all those suffering.
