About Me
I have bilateral TN. The pain is active on the right side of my face, but controlled through tegretol. I had Microvascular Decompression brain surgery on the left side of my head in 1993 and thanks to God, I have been pain free ever since. The pain on the right side first appeared about 4 years. Last winter it got so bad that I almost had surgery but a change in the meds eventually subsided the pain and it's been under control ever since. I love to run & play my guitar.

Close Trigeminal Neuralgia
I have bilateral TN. The pain is active on the right side of my face in the 2nd branch of the Trigeminal nerve. I am pain free on the left side of my face thanks to the microvascular decompression brain surgery I had in 1993. I've had the pain on the right side for about 4 years and has been under control with meds. Last winter I had a bad flare up, which almost resulted in another MVD, but the pain subsided.
Treatments
- Tegretol Working / Worked
- Currently taking a cocktail of meds, which minimizes the pain. However it makes me tired, I sometimes have a brain fog and short term memory issues.
Close Asthma
Type: Childhood AsthmaI was born with Ashthmas and suffered from it tremendously as a child. I was in and out of emergency rooms, doctors offices, etc. I haven't had an asthma attack in almost 20 years. I even now run rigorously, but not before a puff of albuterol. I thank God for letting me breathe normally.
Treatments
- Breathing Exercises Somewhat Helpful
- I was taught slow deep breathing through the nose, out through the mouth, which helped somewhat.
- Inhaler Working / Worked
- Albuterol has been my "third lung" since I was a kid. It's wonderful. just be careful not to overdose on it as I did a few times.
- Albuterol Working / Worked
