Hi,
I've never joined a support group before, don't quite know what to expect but have been living with trigeminal neuropathy from dental work, for 6 excruciating years now. I see a lot of emails about neuralgia, but not neuropathy: constant intense burning above my lip brought on by a needle to the mouth.

No need to say what a struggle to go on. I don't do well with meds--acupuncture helps n a bit, sometimes. I don't want to be discouraged from living-- am a single parent (my kids have no other family), a writer and a teacher. Don't want to be another statistic associated with this condition. If anyone else has had relief, please share what worked. I'm looking into magnet therapy, which I was told might help. Also, lowering oxolate intake. Thanks

Elyse
