Hi @gina5009 The indignities we experience as we age don’t seem fair, do they? It’s wonderful that you’re still able to be living independently at 92…though I am very sorry for the loss of your family members over the years. Especially your children. I always remember my grandmother saying parents should never have to bury their children because there’s no pain like it.
You’ve been through and endured quite a few medical adventures over your lifetime. You surely didn’t need to have trigeminal neuralgia tossed into that mix. It’s one of the worst causes of facial pain. Years ago there wasn’t much that could be done for the pain but there have been several break throughs in treatment.

There are a couple of informational articles that you might want to read:
