Hi @sdgoddard10, I'm sorry to hear about today's horrible attack of pain that you experienced. I moved your post to this existing discussion about trigeminal neuralgia

I did this so you can connect with other members living with TN like @philipmdale @denny2788 @cathen48 @57r @lbo615 @jmb73 @boltz7555 and see what helps them.

I had really bad attacks starting in February 2022. I started taking various dosages of Gabapentin and finally settled on taking 100M at 5AM, 100mg at noon and 200mg at 900PM. I have not had an attack since late March. I have my fingers crossed.
I am an 81 year old male.

Hello. It’s been a longtime. I went a neurologist and he prescribed gabapentin and was taking me off the oxcarbazepine. That didn’t work. Now I’m seeing a neurosurgeon in Peoria Illinois and he is doing a procedure called a radio frequency ablation. I hope that will do something. Does anyone know how to get on social security disability? I haven’t worked in a year.
