I am living with TN. I've been living with this for 10 years (misdiagnosed for 8) I am currently taking gabapentin 3600mg/day. I have just ordered a vitamin pack geared specifically toward TN relief. I get 8 hours of sleep n I try not to have any stress. My episodes the last week have become more frequent. I have a tumor that rests on the nerve in 4 places. My neurologist says if they go in they would cause more damage than good because of the position of the tumor. He did send me to a neurosurgeon in Miami n he said the same "let's keep an eye on it". I'm frustrated!
