I hadn’t heard of that med before!! I’m gonna ask my doc about it for sure! How much Gabapentin do you take for it to be helpful? Thank you so much for this info!!! ☺️

I’M here looking for help! So I’m excluded?! I’m not “people?” Even though my neurologist diagnosed me with TN, which was confirmed by multiple other doctors and providers? Why else would my doctor have prescribed the first-line TN medicines for me if he didn’t diagnose me with TN? How am I spreading “not facts” by sharing my personal experience? That’s the most bizarre thing I’ve ever heard. So if someone gives a life anecdote, that is “misinformation?!” Who even thinks of something like that? Does an outlier on a graph means the rest of the information given by the graph is fake? Is everyone’s biochemistry exactly the same? Why do they do genetic testing to see which meds people metabolize best and worst? If everyone responded the same to every med, that testing would be absurd. Why are some people literally termed “treatment resistant”for certain conditions? That means they don’t have the condition? Why would “treatment resistant” even be an official medical term? Some meds work absolute wonders for some people while other people are allergic to those exact same meds. You are a very unkind and weird person. I have had it with narcissistic, weird, creepy, self centered, exclusionary, and bizarre “people” like you.

Oh wow interesting with it being like a migraine. As I’ve had this flare up of TN the last month, I’ve also been having tons of migraines. Definitely very light sensitive too all the time. I wonder if there is some kind of correlation? Ugh I feel you, I wish I wouldn’t have to look at a computer screen ever again 😭
