    • Close Chronic Pain

      I have trigeminal neuralgia and had a severe neck injury sustained many years ago which exacerbates the trigeminal neuralgia pain. From being an outgoing exuberant person I am now virtually recluse because the pain has led to severe depression and I don't want to go anywhere or do anything.

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Working / Worked
      It was working but I am so low that I don't think it is
      Heat Working / Worked
      Sometimes it works.
      Lyrica Working / Worked
      Did not work
      Neurontin Working / Worked
      Definitely did not work
      TENS Working / Worked
      It did help to an extent
    • Close Trigeminal Neuralgia

      It helps to talk to people who are going through the same as I am.
