HI,

I came across this site while looking for a place to discuss conditions, and also to help others. And, like many others...I don't know much about trigeminal neuralgia.

My mother has trigeminal neuralgia and is on medicines. Last year, she had a radiation treatment done. It was not very successful and a nerve got infected or inflamed. Her spells are farther apart now, but is there any way she could have another treatment done? The balloon treatment would be great. Her medicine helps, but it doesn't stop all the spells. We think the radiation just made it worse.

Hi Leah and welcome to neurotalk.

We do have a Trigeminal Neuralgia forum that might help you.

There are lots of wonderful people at this forum. Again, welcome.

Hi Leah and Welcome to NT. Glad to have you w/us.

Hi, Leah! Welcome to NeuroTalk! You'll find a lot of good folks around these parts who are ready and waiting to talk things over.

Jump in anywhere!

Hi, Leah, to NT! I see the wonderful folks here have already directed you to all the forums you need, I'm sure you're already right at home.

Don't forget, we have several "for fun" forums, too. There are recipes to share, pets to talk about, and poems to be read! There are some funny people in the Social Chat area, too. There are times when we all need to "get away" from the important issues for just a little while, and I find that these places fit the bill.

Welcome to Neurotalk there are wonderful people here and you just
met a bush up above me.
