When it came right down to it, I saw my epileptologist (who actually teaches neurology at Mayo Clinic) for guidance & in hope that he would find the right treatment for me. My epi quickly deduced my problem to be TN after some further tests. He then prescribed carbamazapine to me ~ and saw me 1 week later. Amazing! My pain is around 90% gone. Thank goodness!!

Have you also heard of the Facial Pain Association? They are an excellent resource if you are in the United States. You can look them up online.
