Trigeminal Neuralgia Support Group
Trigeminal neuralgia, or Tic Douloureux, is a neuropathic disorder of the trigeminal nerve that causes episodes of intense pain in the eyes, lips, nose, scalp, forehead, and jaw. Trigeminal neuralgia is considered by many to be among the most painful of conditions.
I went to my neurologist yesterday. After taking neurotin and eating Loratabs he has increased my neurotin to 1200 mg and started me on morphine sulfate extended release 15 mg. Yesterday I had NO pain for the first time since December since my surgery. I could feel the side of my face wanting to start hurting and like it was fixing to start to throb but it never did. I have not heard this pain medicine mentioned on here so I just wanted to throw it out there. I do not feel funny or anything just not hurting. PRAISE GOD! We will see how it goes. Just wanted to share.

My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
No I haven't heard of it... but if it works... for you... and your pain free.. then you have the right combination... If I was in pain and eating rocks helped I would eat rocks... Hugs....
