How about a Great dane, ice pack and Johnny Depp (he is single now ya know)
Seriously,ten years ago in the beginning, I was using a heat pack.This is when my T.N.was at it's peak. At Mayo clinic, the trigimenal nerve had to be severed. After that my T.N. turned into A.D. Now to date I use an ice pak,
drugs and meditation tapes made in Kansas City from a chronic pain
psychologist, Dr. Lemons. No narcotics, but I do have plenty of pain meds. I take 1200mgs. of Neurontin three times a day. I have pain from Anesthesia
Delorosa 24/7. This condition can only be managed but there is no cure.

Was diagnosed in Sept of 2012. Neuro doc has me on a cocktail of gabapentin and oxcarbazepin which is Trileptal. At bedtime I take 1 mg of clonazepam and things are getting better. I will have bloodwork again next week and if it comes back ok he will up the dose.

Thinking of you doodle Bug...I'm so sorry. Prayers and hugs.
I use a heat pack many hours daily, sometimes the entire day and night. I'll check out Dr. Lemons. Blessings.
