Many of you have talked about symptoms from your trigeminal neuralgia (TN). Wanted to touch base and see how things are going. I believe your responses will be helpful to others in this conversation, as well.
@kim_o - how has your pain been lately? You mentioned you noted that salt, stress and caffeine were your biggest triggers. Have you found it challenging to moderate these?
@amberpep - are you having any more ice pick headaches? You mentioned stress in your last post about these. Do you also find stress to be a trigger?
@annpie88 - how is your mother's TN? Have you decided what the next steps for her will be?
@jmjlove - how is your type 2 TN? Are you experiencing any more tooth pains?

Yes, still tooth pain, also left side face pain, eye, scalp, and neck pain. It's pretty constant, but I still am grateful the electric zaps haven't occurred in a long time. The ache is not touched by otc pain relievers, but does respond to opioid pain relievers, which do not work well for the zaps. It's very hard to deal with cool breezes, so scarves are a must. All in all I am not the worst case and for that, again, I am most grateful. Thank you for asking, Lisa. God bless!
