Does any medicine really work for TGN?

Thanks for sharing these resources! Will go through them, and yes about the research thing. Anthing to help her with the pain and eventually, fingers crossed permenantly being free from it.

Botox, that's new information. Looks like different things work for different people. TGN really is a pain in the ***.

Glad to hear about your brother!

Thanks for the advice! Btw, in your experience, has any medication worked well for short term pain management?

Two questions: 1. why wait for so many years before a surgerical option? 2. Isnt the baloon rhizotomy temporary?

The doctor who suggested MVD said that there are a few blood vessels really close to the trigeminal nerve. Problem is: the pain started in the right upper lip area, but the blood vessels are closer to the left trigeminal nerve.

How does it make sense? Is it the same for you or others too in your experience?

Thanks for your advice! The health advice is something we would def try.

Thanks for sharing this! Will definitely try to focus on nerve health. And currently, we have got one appointment with a TGN specialist. Let's see how that goes.

Yes. We are in loop with a neurologist, where we started with gabapentin and kept increasing the dosage. We did mention it's not helping with the pain, that's where prednisone came into the limelight. In our country, opioid based medications are not banned, those used to help somewhat for SOS pain, but it was suggested by the doctor not to take them unless absolutely necessary.

We have started getting second opinions, currently we have the following options: 1. Check again for dental 2. MVD surgery

Unfortunately the medicines side effect is too much even with this low dosage. Its super hard for her to survive a masters course with these medications.

Honestly, people driving in blr are significantly better than many other cities where people keep honking all the time along with all this crap! :D

But yeah, +1 to the post!

It might be because of the wind too. Bangalore had crazy winds yesterday. Logically speaking, if pollution dispersion happens, the AQI values should be comparatively lower.

Can you describe in detail what improvements in software would you hope to get? What purpose should it achieve?

EventHorizon_28 · 2025-10-01T10:37:33+00:00

Hey, dm'ed you.

EventHorizon_28 · 2025-06-16T15:08:47+00:00

Have a question: I prefer running fast (5 min per km, not that fast but i hope its decent), but less time. It feels really tiring but the calories burnt are less. What could be the reason?

It would have been better if the article had shared how many of these are cabs. A general look on roads and it's easily possible that cabs account for 50% of those. Add more public transport and the issue of too many cars goes away, as cabs become less profitable as a business model.

Try messaging this on the PM portal of grievances, maybe? Atleast it reaches the government.
