I'm hoping to find relief and maybe some sympathy for my Trigeminal Neuralgia pain and the ups and downs with the variety of meds the docs like to throw at me.

Every time I think my TN pain is under control ... it isn't. I'm frustrated with my body. The tegretol at full dose makes me so tired that I cannot finish the day at work but the pain is ALL gone. I ratchet back the tegretol and I am fully functional but the pain it there.

Enough of my ranting. After reading so many posts here, I am ashamed of my whining.
