Usually if the nerve is damaged by shingles you should really think about having any of the "conventional procedures" for TN.
I was lucky, Janet. When I had Shingles of the facial nerves, I took Valtrex right away and I didn't have the PHN...Thank God. The pain I had with the Shingles was definately suicidal pain. People ask me if I have the residual pain, as if it's a given, so I'm very lucky.

I'm so sorry you suffer from that..Ugh.
