TN pain gone - for good hopefully.

For some people, the TN pain comes and goes. Have anyone kept track of what causes it to go away ?
I've had TN toothache for more than 2 years. It's pain 24/7. There are times that it comes every 5 minutes thru out the day. Like you're getting your teeth drilled every 5 minutes, spreads thru out the face. Can't sleep, can't talk, can't eat and can't drink without pain. Tried lyrica but it didin't help. Had my first experience of what depression actually feels like as its side effect. No more drugs for me. Why take a drug if it's not curing me ? I want to be cured.
For 3 months i took additional b6 and b12 vitamins, and vit C ( read somewhere it's good for the nerves ). I took fish oil ( to reduce inflammation ). For 2 months I cut gluten off my diet, took milk, eggs, caffine off as well. For the first time in 2 years i'm finally pain free. People with TN pain should seriously look inwards to yourselves for a cure. I mean, TN is not caused my anything external... like a virus or bacteria.. your body is somehow reacting to itself. Food sensitivity causes inflammation which causes the body to attack itself ? Who knows where it chooses to do it. Try a change of diet. Maybe it'll work. It's drug free and you've got nothing to loose. You may need to be patient though, it'll take time. It took me more than 2 months. May everyone be pain free.

My symptoms are matching most of the symptoms from other forum member . I've
Seen 9 doctors so far and the closest to give me n answer was my chiropractor. I have a continuous pain in my right jaw like some one is trying to pul my teeh out. I am scheduled to see a neurologist but i want to try the vitamins and fish oil and diet option. How much vitamins B6 and 12 and fish oil did you take? Did anyone tried acupuncture.?
Thank you

Hi the reason why you felt better in my opinion is not diet but use of ascorbic acid plus fish oil. Read here: https://www.ecronicon.com/ecne/pdf/ECNE-03-000078.pdf

Hi, thanks for info, I still have flare ups again. Intense torture for one or 2 days , with the pain subsiding gradually over the next few weeks. I'm still trying to figure out the triggers for the flareups. Due to lack of discipline, sleeping late, lack of water , stopping the fish oil supplementation, work stress. During that time, my upper gums feels swollen and inflamed. I could actually feel dimples when i feel the gums with my tongue. Went back to sleeping very early, lots of water , and double the fish oil supplementation, vit C. etc etc. Now the pain is gone again. I do not respond to the drugs, so for the initial flare ups, there's nothing that can help me. In a sense i think it's good, my body is trying to heal or get in sync again without the added burden of trying to dispel drugs cursing thru our bodies. There's nothing natural about TN drugs. Be well.

I think the diet is highly dependent on your own body. It's quite difficult to pinpoint what's causing my flare-up's. It's not like an allergy where the effect is immediate. I've notice there is a period where it builds up to the point inflammation starts. So when the next flare up occurs. Try to see what lifestyle/diet changes happened two to three weeks before. I think I am narrowing down my pattern. Definitely 1) lack of sleep 2) lack of water 3) diet discipline goes 4) work stress .. possibility a combination of all . ( I've ruled out gluten as a cause.. I think it may be eggs/ fried foods/ late nights. When the attack starts up.. it will take about three weeks to wean off. During that time.. my upper lips are inflamed. I drink more water/sleep early drink lots of herbal drinks ( to reduce body heat ) . I suffer for 3 to 4 weeks.. but I don't have to take any medication/drugs. Hope you'll know your body .. find the pre-symptoms that occur before another flare up.. ( for me it starts with an itch in the upper lips.. slow swells up. starts to feel dimples/granules in the upper lips ) If I catch it fast enough.. it'll go away.
