hi all,
just have to vent i really dont like the pins and needles on my forehead it really bothers me its like i cant do anything to make it go away i am beginning to feel like my syptoms are progressing the pain is getting more intense and the tegretol doesn't seem to do anything when the pain is really bad! do you think i should change to another med? i have been on tegretol now for 3 months

Ohh you poor thing you. 3 months on it and now its not helping that isnt good at all. maybe the doc will up the doseage or probly more then likely you will have to try another med or add one to what your on now. It is merry-go round (thats not very merry) untill ya find the right med or combo of meds. do not give up ! keep searching . I know eventualy something will help you. I pray you find it soon. make sure doc knows eveyrhting how its not helping and all. write it down so he can have all the info on file .dont want to be put on a med ya already tryed with no relief.
sending warm healing thoughts and keeping you in my prayers.
Low pain to you Melina
PEACE

I can't add much more than what Burnt has already suggested. The trials of trying to find the right med, or sometimes even combination of meds is indeed not happy trail. It'd make our lives so much easier if there were just one med that worked totally for everyon! LOL
Prayers that your pins & needle synsation will soon be gone. I know yrs ago I had the numbness and still occasionally the tingly feelings..but usually only a few hours at a time.

I came down with Glossopharygneal Neuralgia 3 of 2008 and got it stopped with herbs and came back in 9-2008 BAD!!. Got it stopped again with herbs but figured it out it would be back. I found a Upper Cervical Chiropractor which says he has fixed it where it won't come back, I believe him because of everything else he has done. I no longer hurt anywhere. Even my feet that have hurt so long. Back and joints also.
This chiropractor is not like any chiropractor I have ever been to. Another guy had T.N. I knew and has been in pain for two years and is going to the same Dr. and he is pain free now, T.N. is gone.

My son-in-law got me the book from :"what time tuesday: about a guy with TN and I found out about it by reading the book. Actually saved my life. I am pain free.
This Dr. isn't just treating TN but all kinds of problems. I am so impressed by what he has done for me and so many others. I wish I had known about this long time ago. I would be glad to help anyway I can. No one can know how bad the pain is unless they have had it themselves. My email address:
