Trigeminal Neuralgia

I remember I had this very painful condition for a few months. I triggered it in the morning when I started to eat. The pain was dreadful.

I started drinking through a straw that helped, avoiding chewing and codeine. I also had acupuncture.

My friend s Dad had it and went to addenbrooks for an operation however it wasn’t successful and he ended up in more trouble than before

Have you looked on the Trigeminal neuralgia association web sight it looks to be helpful

My late friend’s DH has this. Over the years, he’s had several operations, some successful, some not.
A Sheffield Hospital has the best record, apparently so they were happy to travel down from Durham for the ops.
