Hi everyone, i was diagnosed with TN in 2011 at the age of 25. It went away for 3 years then cme back in march this year. It kept getting worse over the last couple of months that i couldn't eat, talk etc without getting painful shocks to my face, i lost weight because of this. I kept increasing my tegretol until it no longer worked. Last wednesday i was taken to the hospital by ambulance because i kept getting stabbing pains over and over and over in my face. i was just screaming. i was scared to talk, lick my lips, eat etc that i had to communicate with the doctors and nurses with pen and paper. i was given an iv because i had not eaten or drank anything in days. i was given morphine shots for the pain but that barley helped. i had an mri done 3 days ago but it came back clear so there is no known cause for my TN. I had enough. i started b complex pills at one a day 3 days ago, i also drink ensure, lots of water and naturally made fruit and vegetable smoothies. to my suprise my shocking attacks got less and the pain was not as intense. i last took one 200 mg tegretol almost 24 hours ago compared to 4 just a week ago. i have had no attacks all day and i was able to eat without any problems. i feel like crying considering what i have been through. so please guys try vitamin b complex, lots of water and a healthy diet and it may work for you too. no harm in trying. relief wouldn't come over night so don't give up!!!

Hi everyone! I had/occasionally have TN from dental work and wanted to share how amazing acupuncture has been working for me. I've been seeing an acupuncturist since March and have improved significantly-- 95% better with occasional relapses. There are triggers like stress, foods/caffeine, and barometric pressure, but acupuncture takes the stabbing shocking pain away and makes me feel so much better. It's been a life saver. Rubbing CBD cream on my face also helps calm the nerve. A hot compress on my face, hot shower, Apple cider vinegar, and supplement like B-Complex and L-lysine help too. I hope acupuncture helps if you haven't tried it. Many blessings to you all!
