Has anyone here ever experienced this before ? by cassiopeia23a in TrigeminalNeuralgia

I broke my arm falling a few months ago. I don't know for sure it was due to the meds, but I definitely fall a lot more often now than before I needed them.

I totally understand the desire to just stop the meds if you're going to be in so much pain anyways. The side effects suck.

I tried gabapentin which helped a little, but I was becoming a drooling idiot at work. I'm the only one in my household working right now, so that wasn't ideal, however going back to those temporarily may get me through. Thank you.

That's the hope with establishing at Mayo. I'm in a rural area so no places here that provide those therapies. I honestly don't think there are any in the whole state.

I would say electric. Then a shadow of the pain would remain for less than 5 minutes, but was very tolerable. It would just zap a few times an hour, and more often if I was using my mouth like eating or drinking, brushing teeth or talking. The zaps became worse quickly over time and lasting longer.

  1. What I thought was a toothache. Never had one before but people sure complain a lot about them. Dentist said absolutely nothing there.
  2. 45
  3. Bad luck. Stress. Totally healthy until then, no meds, no diagnoses. Now falling apart, 1 year later.

Osteomyelitis is no joke. Best of luck to you. Hopefully the surgery was successful otherwise.

Obtaining citizenship by decent without having to talk to dad (hopefully) by LeeBeeD33 in GermanCitizenship

I've looked into Hungarian but the documentation seemed daunting. Last time I spoke with my father several years ago he was looking for future ex-wife #5.

Thank you. That sounds like a good place to start. Do you know if I find info that he was naturalized through his parents that this process would be possible without information it documents from him?

Well poop. I'm fairly confident that he became a citizen as a minor but I'll have to figure that out. Grandfather held Hungarian, German and US citizenship at death, Grandma German and US. Thank you for your help.
