taylorschott,

I hope you're still on this forum because I'm responding to a post you wrote in 2008.

I have anesthesia dolorosa on the right side of my face as a result of the surgeon permanently damaging my trigeminal nerve during microvascular decompression surgery. No meds help with the pain. I want to try the non-reversing mirror that you mentioned.

My questions are - which side of the face does someone need to touch? The normal feeling side or the painful side? Also, can I touch my own face or does it need to be another person for this therapy to work?

Has it continued to work since the first success in 2008??

Desparate for help,
Frank
