Wow, I just downloaded and signed up for NeuroTalk yesterday and already I've found more than a dozen nicknames that I recognize!!! It's great to see you all....BobS, Crysopac, Ella, JeanC...and others that I can't recall the nicknames at this moment.
My atypical trigeminal neuralgia that I've had for 10 yrs is under control (for the most part) with just neurontin. However, I am noticing the shooting little twitches a bit more in the past yr. or so.
At present, due to insurance complications, I have no neurologist..just my family practice dr. that is quite familiar with my pain and how it increases or decreases.
My local chapter support group which is through the National TN Association is wonderful. It helps to know that we are indeed NOT alone with this pain and it's always good to hear others stories of good or bad procedures.
"Don't give up" is the phrase most used in our support group.
Again...great to see you all again,
