I hope this posting will be a source of encouragement to all my friends who may be suffering from Trigeminal Neuralgia. My dad had been suffering from Trigeminal Neuralgia for 6 years, is now healed completely after a gamma knife surgery in 2004, and has been pain-free since then. We live in Singapore and my dad was diagnosed in 1998 at age of 51 with Trigeminal Neuralgia, the pain is in the Trigeminal nerve on the left side of his face. He is a tough man with super high tolerance of pain but yet TN was able to drive him to despair. It pains me even now to recall the many times when my dad would just be struggling with the facial pain, unable to talk, eat and even drink (at the peak of pain....). And do you know what's the worst feeling a son can feel?... That is, the sense of TOTAL HELPLESSNESS, not able to help in anyway to relief the pain my dad is going through. I would say our close-knitted, happy, joyous family had been dealt a severe blow of gloominess caused by Trigeminal Neuralgia.
To make the matter worst, my dad was further diagnosed in 2004 with A
coustic Neuroma “benign brain tumor”. This unfortunate news, coupled with the fact that medication is no longer providing relief (carbamazepine – already at peak of 12 tablet of 200mg a day), forced us to explore surgeries treatment. My dad went for the gamma knife surgery with Dr Chou Ning from National University Hospital. And what a JUBILEE, that the pain ceased tremendously immediately after the gamma knife and disappeared completely one month after the surgery! The rest are history, our blanket of gloom had been permanently lifted and there is no recurrence of Trigeminal Neuralgia for my dad.My friends... if you are searching for options to help yourself with Trigeminal Neuralgia pain, or if you know someone who is searching to find the solution to this excruciating pain, the one thing we need to do is get well informed of this condition, ie especially the symptoms of Trigeminal Neuralgia, the potential causes of Trigeminal Neuralgia, the various treatment of Trigeminal Neuralgia, the new advances in Trigeminal Neuralgia. There are many good websites which are under my recommended links. I am also highly recommending an amazing new product called "Ultimate Guide to Freedom from Trigeminal Neuralgia”, which has been painstakingly put together by Jasmina Kovacev, BSc.
Frankly speaking, the sales pitch of this product may be a little overdone but seriously it is value-for-money. An extremely good one-stop info and solution for Trigeminal Neuralgia. It covers almost everything you need to know about different options, especially providing a wide range of alternative non-surgical, non-toxic medication options which I don't find in other websites. It includes the following topics:
- Find out what is the cause of TN? Or causes?
- 8 questions to evaluate your health practitioner before you hire him
- Learn what are common triggers for TN so that you can avoid them
- Want to know the role of stress? We came across a very interesting discovery...
- What diagnostic methods are available?
- Find out what medication is available as a treatment option and what you can expect from it
- Some straight talk about orthodox and holistic therapies (mainstream and alternative)
