I am interested to know if anyone has tried this novel approach. As an idea it suddenly seemedd so obvious and on using google I found many recent articles supporting a dramatic pain reduction, reduction in drug requirements, and in some cases leading to long term drug free release from symtoms of pain. 

Yet I find no mention here....

      This is an awful situation, unspeakable really. Please can you tell me if you have had root canal work or wisdom tooth extraction in the 1 or 2 years leading up to these painful symptoms. 

      Is there a point at which you can identify a beginning to this?

      Keep hope alive x

      Hugs for you, I see very good reasons that make me optimistic that ATN has been misunderstood and that this is the principle problem in successful treatment. I am reading up everywhere, asap.
