Trigeminal neuralgia: What helps stop the pain?

Thank you is Lyrica hard to tolerate? Did you ever try injections? Very scared my symptoms are just starting to progress. Did you get the covid shot. Does trigeminal neuralgia progress quickly. Are you always in pain? Thank you very much.

Good morning. The ONLY thing about Lyrica was when I first went on it it made me very tired for about a week & the paperwork that came with it said this was one of the side effects. Otherwise no problem w/it. Never was offered or had any discussions about any injections. When the trigeminal neuralgia showed up my neurologist upped the Lyrica dosage by 100 mg. (I was on 200 mg. I've remained on 300 now for about 5+ yrs.) Pain has not worsened nor can I tell you the last time I had any discomfort/pain from it. I was told that I would have to be on the Lyrica for the rest of my life by the neurologist (but I was already on the Lyrica for my neuropathy - both feet - anyway). Both my husband & I have had both COVID injections. No problems with these either. Considering doing the booster inj. but waiting to see what progress how this works out for others first.

Thank you so much. How long have you had tn2. Please don't get affected me asking you a lot just figured out what I have. It seams like it progresses very quickly. Do you have ringing in your ears? I am very scared that is why I am asking you a bunch of questions.
