Smile Hello from Fort McMurray
Hi everyone. I'm a newbie to chat rooms totally. I was diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia in March/08. I only have it in my eye / forehead area and after several different meds. I am still having some breakthrough pain when my meds. run out after 4-5 hours. I can't seem to find much information on it.

I was wondering if anyone else here has just the eye/forehead TN and what you are taking for the pain? I see my neurologist again on Monday and would love some suggestions. Thanks.....Bonnie

Smile thanks - sometimes I feel like a "burnt marshmallow"
Just wanted to say a big "thank you" for the warm welcome. I would love to hear what "meds" everyone else is on for their TN and what seems to work the best and not leave you spaced out so much, but strong enough to kill the pain. I'm looking forward to getting to know you as I learn more about TN. In friendship......Bonnie

Hi from a fellow Canadian,

I have trigeminal neuralgia (with a host of other issues too) - I get it in the right ear and side/back of my head - it's brutally painful so I sympathize with you. I take tegratol, but only during flare ups. Unfortunately it takes some time to kick in, it's not like an aspirin, I guess you have to reach a certain level in your blood stream. But once it kicks in it works great, but makes me very sleepy and somewhat nauseous (not a great combo).
