Trigeminal neuralgia with Sjogrens disease

Posted by hillanator @hillanator, Dec 15, 2024

What is the best treatment for trigeminal neuralgia in an older lady with Sjogrens? My mom is 74 and in excruciating pain. She can’t eat or drink or even brush her teeth. She has tried carbamazepine, but it made her very dizzy. I’m very worried about her.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Autoimmune Diseases Support Group.

As I mentioned before my grandma had trigeminal neuralgia and she did try for a short period acupuncture but her relief was minimal and she became frustrated and stopped treatment. It didn't work for her but perhaps it may work for someone else, it doesn't hurt to try.
