Thanks so much Julie. I will write again really soon. Your advice on the D is working. Today I woke up feeling part human. And I slept good after so long.:)
Thanks
Any prayers appreciated!
I am still waiting for referral to get the tests and diagnosis of whether there is a pituitary tumour. All roads point to the tumour because of the growth and enlargement of things... I am just disappointed I am having to wait so long to see an endocrinologist. It's the first step in what I have been warned (by other pituitary patients) is potentially a long road... but just to feel that I am moving forward, even if it takes a while... would be great!

Thanks
I'm going to keep looking into this. I may be wishful thinking, but it's worth a try.

Close Trigeminal Neuralgia
left sided tn year four. motor cortex stimulator implanted two years ago. doesn't work for everyone but they do a trial before they totally implant everything. did nerve blocks, all kinds of meds, chiropractic care, homepathic too. the mcs surgery was a life saver for me we found a program that really keeps the pain under control and i am on maint. doses of meds. stay out of stressful anythings and take care of my self. lots of rest vitamins etc. now i can function
Treatments
- Nerve Blocks Not Working
- problem with these injections is that it helps for a while but a lot of times the pain returns. my experience has been that steroids helps with imflammation and calms things down for a while but doesn't cure it. if you have classic tn it might make it remiss but i have atypical much harder to treat. i am for treatment that cannot damage the nerve any further.
Close Shingles
june came down with bell's palsy few day's later shingles broke out same side of face. behind ear at hairline i hsve ear damage. neur i see locally said he couldn't see in my ear at the time but it was red. i have sore spots on face above eye, side of nose, check. i would love to talk to someone who knows to heal or if there is a specific time of healing or what to expect/ i also have atypical trigeminal left side am managing pain well with motor cortex stimulator implant.
