I suffer from trigeminal neuralgia and am thinking to try botox. Anyone tried it and have a reduced pain or any side effects?

Thanks
Andre.

I don’t know about Botox for that but I do often read that DMSO Gel is very effective at relieving Shingles pain.

Read my post today. Botox worked for me with no side effects.

For me it worked for 9 months. Now, suddenly I have a bad relapse. I did Botox every 12 weeks. I tried gama knife, twice, glicol rizotomy, twice and MVD. If anything, my pain level increased after each procedure. I cannot tell for sure yet if the 9 months of pain relief were because of Botox, but I am inclined to say so. I use oxcarbamazepin to keep the pain manageable, sometimes even 4200 mg per day. They recommend max 2400 per day.
