Trigeminal neuralgia: What helps stop the pain?

Hi @mattey741
When I was first diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia, I was given Trileptal, it worked, however; the ensuing brain fog was debilitating for me. So, I stopped and searched for alternative ways to reduce the effect of the outside world increasing my pain. My TGN started at the dentist, which mamy neurologists will argue is not possible, but I walked in the door and could barely crawl out the same door an hour later with my new crown. (With TGN the first problem is the diagnosis, the second is doctors believing the cause, and the third is living with the devastating pain, I now have neuropathy, so I have pins and needles head to toe.)

Pups need out, I will be back.

For some reason I never thought of the dentist. Maybe something triggered it there. You just never know!

Pretty sure this is a dumb question, but did you try having that crown replaced? I had years of occipital neuralgia, and the only thing that helped the pain was ice, until I was given Depo Medrol injections, which cured it.
