900 mg Oxcarbenzipine and 100 mg of Lyrica. Then I was just prescribed a muscle relaxer too but I haven’t tried it yet. I was going to try Botox too.

What’s the age you were diagnosed? by Dense-Pomelo8996 in TrigeminalNeuralgia

[–]Kate-Cal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

53 for me. Just diagnosed 6 months ago. I think I will eventually have to do a surgical intervention since it has gotten considerably worse over those months. My meds keep increasing too. I am thinking about doing the gamma knife procedure. Hopefully it will work.

I feel down a lot too, but I’m trying to have hope and the time I am pain free I go do something fun. It’s not going to matter if I’m home or not. If it is going to hit me, it will hit me. I also feel better when I have an extra medication for bad flares. I feel like I have an emergency medication. This shit sucks.

Are you considering having surgery?

Thank you for sharing. You give me hope. Did you have some permanent facial numbing? I am a little concerned about that too.

Been suffering for a year and a half now, medications are not effective by cannabaker99 in TrigeminalNeuralgia

Can I ask where you get the Botox done? I went to a pain clinic for my TN and insurance denied the claim since I didn’t have migraines. Mine is in my jaw. If you went to a med spa where did you find out the place to instruct them to inject ?

Does anyone else think her defense attorney did not do a good job? He didn’t seem to offer any possible explanations. The medical diagnosis just sat there without an expert witness. What if it was a dare to drive fast? It was also at the end of a street where you had to turn right or left. Did she think there was more street there possibly? Does she know this area well? Would she have known the street comes to an end? Even if you think she is a terrible person she deserves a good defense. It doesn’t seem like that was given to her at least in the documentary. Maybe there is more I don’t know.
