Trigeminal Neuralgia
Thanks for your helpful reply. I have the book Striking Back and have joined both the Canadian and American TNA's. I have TN eye/forehead only which I guess is harder to treat. I am in the 1 percentile according to the stats in Striking Back and there is not very much information about it.
I was wondering if anyone else here has also been diagnosed with eye/forehead only. I take 1200 mg of Tegretol and 450 mg of Lyrica a day. I don't think the Lyrica does anything but make me a walking zombie and I have zero short term memory skills these days. Is there anything better out there? Of course my insurance co. is trying to say I'm ok to return to work. I work 10 hr. days, plus spend another 4 hrs commuting on the bus. (I work 2 hrs. north of town) Can you believe it?
Are there any drugs I can takr and actually get my brain back? Bonnie
