Trigeminal neuralgia: What helps stop the pain?

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.

Got brave got Mt 1st shot yesterday so far so good. Have an appointment set up for injections in October. Thank you very much for all your help. Do you have tn1 or tn2 or both. I have both. I might have to try that lyrica.

I’m very pro Vaccines but apparently people with some underlying conditions of bad reactions and I believe that the vaccine might caused me my neuropathy. Yes, I do do I believe the vaccine still help millions of people yes I do.
