@Iggyvair,

How did your doctor cure your TN? I've had TN for a while now and I never know when the pains are going to be there. Weeks will go by with nothing, but last night I was in so much pain I couldn't sleep much less think.

I don't know what he did but it was instant complete relief. It took him only a few minutes with no after effects. Dr. Sekula said it would last a month to 10 years. It has lasted 13 months. I am going back next month. He is a specialist in facial pain. He said if it is done wrong you can have Bells Palsy. Have a specialist do it. 😁. During the time I had the TN I lost 10 lbs. It was to painful to eat

I do hope you can find the name of the procedure to share with everyone here.

How wonderful that the treatment worked! I'm so glad for you!

I'm so happy you're no longer feeling TN pain-here's to YEARS no DECADES of NO PAIN for you!

I'm going to ask my neuro next month if he knows of any TN specialist who can help me. He's an MS specialist so I'm sure he knows quite a few. Neuro is the one who initially dx me with TN.

how what medication? I have that now, real bad sometimes. taking gabapentin 10 tablets a day.

Until Dr Sekula did his magic I was eating gabapentin like candy. The gabapentin won't work because the trigeminal nerve is very short. (to short to absorb medication!)
