This is a list of all the remedies, cures, suggestions, treatments or possibilities that I have either heard of, read about or had suggested to me for my trigeminal neuralgia or migraines. I have highlighted the ones that I have tried to one extent or another. Some of them I have been told are not options for me by the Drs that I have seen because of the nature of my pain pattern or the Drs I have seen have not even heard of them as treatment options here, so I have included them but marked them with an asterisk. I tried to organize them into sort-of loose categories but that only worked to an extent, so bear with that.
And please understand, I don't share this to make anyone feel bad for making suggestions, or to make anyone feel like they should apologize for making suggestions. I just want everyone to be aware of where I am at. This is my reality. Please understand that I am just juggling a lot of suggestions and recommendations and following the advice of my doctors (wherever I may be with that) and trying to pray and follow my instincts and what feels right to me, and all while just trying to get up each day and feel like living and struggling to function. If perhaps I don't seem to give full heed to your particular suggestion, just please don't be offended. I have a lot in my head. Pain, mostly. And I share this too for anyone else who may be struggling with this pain, because I really don't know, some of this that doesn't work for me might be helpful for someone else. I have no judgment. Most of the time we are desperate enough to try just about anything. And I am completely clueless as to why some things seem to work really well for some people and not at all for others. I really wish it weren't so complicated, but it really is. It's unbelievably frustrating and complicated. So, take this for whatever you'd like. Mostly, just look at it like I do and be amazed at such a long list.;)

Yep, it all looks pretty overwhelming. =(
Of everything on here (after having tried your highlighted list), if it were me, I would try acupuncture - from a highly experienced practitioner and with frequent treatments, perhaps every day. And a chiropractor experienced with nerve pain.
I would also, of course, find an out of state source for strong medical cannabis, perhaps in a tincture or topical cream. But I know you're not likely to go that route.

Wait a sec, someone suggested a tilt table for Trigeminal Neuralgia? I dealt with sciatica pain for an entire year, so I was desperate enough to try a tilt table, which triggered a flare-up....both times I tried it. I strongly recommend never trying it :)
And...there is no cure for TN. Not yet anyway!
As a sign of gratitude for how my husband was saved from neuralgia, i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
My husband suffered neuralgia and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because he was my all and the symptoms were terrible, we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure him. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony of so many people who was cured from neuralgia. and so many other with similar body problem, and they left the contact of this doctor who had the herbal cure to neuralgia. I never imagined neuralgia has a cure not until i contacted him and he assured me my husband will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my husband used it and in one months he was fully okay even up till this moment he is so full of life.neuralgia has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on drwilliams098675@gmail.com on how to get the medication. Thanks for reading my testimony .
