Are you here to share an experience? Yes that of my mother's suffering with TN Do you have a prayer request? Yes that she be freed from this pain Is there a concern you want to share? I feel so helpless seeing her in such pain Would you like to share your goal(s)? To see my mother smile again and free from pain Comments: My 76 year old mother was diagnosed with TN ten years ago but the stress of caring for my elderley father (he has had a few strokes, has diabetes and is frail) brought on an attack 2 months ago. Driven mad by the pain she started self medicating her carbemazapine taking double the dose to 800mg a day. This put her in hospital for a week as her blood pressure went through the roof past 200. She's back home now but seeing her still in pain is making my heart break as I try to be strong for my folks. If you have any words of faith (we're roman catholics) or advice on alternative remedies rather than carbamazipine I would love to hear from you. God bless Jennifer

Are you here to share an experience? yes Do you have a prayer request? yes Is there a concern you want to share? yes Would you like to share your goal(s)? no Comments: I have had Trigeminal Neuralgia for 27 years. I was misdiagnosed with TMJ. Even though I have TMJ, it was not my main problem and I have lived with severe pain in my right jaw off and on for years. I know that chiropractic care has helped for years and it does flare up from time to time when I neglect going to the chiropractor and recently, I was unable to get to the chiroprator and it flared up the worst yet in 27 years and not only that but not only does it hurt in my right jaw but now I have pain just above my right eyebrow. I am on Tegratol but it is only making it barely bearable and I have a new chiropractor who is helping me to get started on a healthy diet and vitamins. He says it is related to MS and he says he can help me. I have to get off sugar and that is extremely hard but I am determined to do all he says. He is gradually adding things I need to change. I need prayer to endure and to be healed of this horrible disease. It has really drained us both financially and emotionally Mary
