Do those meds. Help keep the pain away for days. Also if and when you get in bad pain what do you do to stop the pain.or does anything help. When I’m in bad pain I will take an antihistamine and and aspirin.Then in about 45min I’ll get relief. This TN is so debilitating and painful ,l feel so sorry for anyone who has it. Thanks for the info. Hope your doing well.

    Hi Al,

    Sorry to hear about your pain.

    Try hot tub or a warm shower (make sure you use a scarf and warm bath robe after to stay warm. This helps release tension.

    If it is not too cold out, a 30 min brisk walk warms up the body. I find that staying home and not doing anything worsens the pain - activity helps.

    Lastly, do try to find a good acupunturist (my pain went away - I had TN for 3 years) and stop whatever is causing you stress (not an easy task but worth looking into.

    Get well soon,

    H.O.P.E. Hold On, Pain Ends

    No the other meds are for other issues I have. Nothing I have come across has taken the pain away for days. This is the closes I have come.  I have been taking the Turmeric 800 mg in the am for the pain.

    When I get a little pain (usually around 5:00 pm I take 1/2-1 tablet of  Carbamazapine . That usually last until the am. Then I start all over again.

    I stay away from all sugar & tomato's. They trigger the TN. I found out yesterday MSG can cause neuralgia.  

    Just goes to show you learn something new every day!

    Than you for your concern! Your welcome. I'm more then happy to give people advise on how I've received relief from this crippler!
