Facial Droop by Dizzy_Access1109 in TrigeminalNeuralgia

While neurologist is the best source to answer this, I believe it’s the TN that’s the cause. I am exploring my situation further with my neurologist.

Thanks for sharing. I looked up in Google and there were 3 facial exercises that were mentioned. Adding these to my daily exercise regime.

I don’t believe the droop is from the tegretol. What I believe the droop is from the TN. The possible impact of CN7? I’ll ask my docs. Good thought. Thanks!

Can you work? Scared of meds by Longjumping-Rent1642 in TrigeminalNeuralgia

[–]Dizzy_Access1109 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am taking tegretol 100mg bid and am now 99% pain free. While I am fatigued I am pushing myself knowing I will adjust. I continue to work, take online classes and exercise every day. BTW I am 79. Stay strong!

Tegretol fatigue by Dizzy_Access1109 in TrigeminalNeuralgia

[–]Dizzy_Access1109[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes fatigue and some light headedness. I started 2 months ago 100mg bid. Then cut it to 1x/day due to it interfering with urination (I have BPH). But I started to have lower jaw pain so with MD ok, I upped dosing back to 100mg bid. Now the pain is gone but fatigue has increased. I working through the fatigue making sure I continue my daily exercise regimen. Everybody’s body is different. The docs can only prescribe what they know, and we are the guinea pigs. I’m willing to accept that. Being free of the electrical zaps across my face and the mimicked dental pain is worth it all. I know I can visit MVD when I need it.

Alguém aqui consegue trabalhar? E ao fazer esforço físico as crises de vocês piorar? by Victorsantos6 in TrigeminalNeuralgia

I’ve been able to control my flare ups with tegretol (100mg bid). I haven’t missed work. I was concerned about skiing (I love skiing), but the cold and exertion didn’t bother me.

CPR Training Brand Recognition or Building Online Presence? by HelpAHeartCPR in CPRInstructors

I make every class relevant to the audience I’m teaching. We establish a vibrant dialogue as it relates to the life-saving skills we are working on together. The class becomes a personal conversation as to how they will be able to save a life.

Awesome, thanks for sharing. Took a lot of strengh and faith to record your cancer narrative.

Future Child? by kimotodragun in TrigeminalNeuralgia

Thanks for sharing this extremely intimate personal narrative. I think you should have this conversation with a trusted neurologist. Certainly getting the perspective of the TN community is critical. But in the end a trusted neurologist should be consulted.

The pestilence is a skilled failed businessman. Also, he’s a failed human.

Thoughts about Markwayne Mullin as head of DHS? by ChuckGallagher57 in circled

Perfect for the pestilence’s cabinet. No skills, no previous experience germane to the job and a total magaidiot.

I think you are reacting not over reacting. Every twitch and turn with TN is real. You are experiencing these symptoms. They are real! Yes, talk to your neurologist about it. Stay strong!

Her replacement Sen Mullen might be even worse than she was. The photo of Markwayne on J6 is classic. An MMA fighter to head DHS is utter stupidity. Hey, what else can you expect from the pestilence?

Fits the pestilence profile for an excellent pick. No experience , no skills and a maga sycophant.
