I went to the Doctor yesterday morning and he had me see one of his staff who specializes in sinus and nervous system in the face (I’m sure there’s a medical title for that). He believes I have Trigeminal Neuralgia: it’ a nerve condition that causes episodes of severe pain in and on the face (including searing pain in the face, scalp, teeth, mouth and nose). Medically, the cause is unknown.
The treatment is medication that was, at one time given to patients with epilepsy to help control and re-train the nerves, as well as some pain medication for night time and when the pain is too severe.
Presently, about once an hour, I am having these facial attacks that last for about 5-10 minutes. It will most likely take a week to start seeing results from the medication.
Our God is BIG and I believe He can do anything. Please stand with me in prayer.
Praying for you, Jamie. Keep us posted.
Jamie,
My wife kim has this well. She has lived with it for several years. She had pain shots given in the base of her head and that didn’t last or help. The one thing she has discovered that has helped is our chiropractor. The Chiropractor is not the old fashion way, She uses an activator tool. She was an instructor for others in this way of adjustments. She has been able to make adjustments on Kim in her head as they begin and they usually go away. The best part Kim is not on any meds for it. Another person we know who has this as well has to wear a mouth guard at night. Just thought I would let you know. We will be praying for you.
