I have been lucky, not to have suffered from TN...(knocking on wood)
I did have Shingles of the facial nerves, though, so I know the horrible
pain you are suffering.

I am so sorry for your pain and I hope you find something to help you
all soon.

I have a question of you TN sufferers. Have any of you had Shingles?
I was just wondering if there is a link to TN, since the pain is similar. Valtrex helped my shingles and I have had no residual pain, which usually follows Shingles for years after the initial attack.

The same herpes virus which causes Shingles, chicken pox and Mono,
is thought to have a link to a cause for MS. I have heard of a few people
who take Valtrex at the start of a MS attack. It works for them and their
MS. so maybe Valtrex could work to stop TN attacks.

Just a thought...what do you think?
