My theory, your thoughts - Trigeminal

[Guest guest]

I've ruled out everything, it has to be this, just throwing this out there.

Trigeminal neuralgia can be caused my lipid soluble irritants - Mycotoxins are

lipid soluble. The trigeminal nerve and its sprouts extend to a variety of

areas.

I read this online:

Fungal volatile compounds may impact the " common chemical sense " which senses

pungency and responds to it. This sense is primarily associated with the

trigeminal nerve (and to a lesser extent the vagus nerve). This mixed (sensory

and motor) nerve responds to pungency, not odor, by initiating avoidance

reactions, including breath holding, discomfort, or paresthesias, or odd

sensations, such as itching, burning, and skin crawling.

Avoidance reactions (new cars, furniture, house, etc.) is everyday life for me.

All of the other symptoms fit too.

I took Dextromethorphan (Cough syrup) and it made my symptoms 90% better. It's

an anti-convulsant. I read about Klonopin as an NMDA antagonist on the Multiple

Chemical Sensitivity board and that worked even better. Carbamezepine

(Tegretol) is an anti-convulsant used to treat Trigeminal Neuralgia. I have a

feeling this will make me feel even better.

If you read about Capsaicin, it inhibits the release of Substance P and this

really helps reduce my pain from when I get around what I feel must be

mycotoxins.

Has anyone tried treating for Trigeminal Neuralgia (this would be the atypical

kind without (for me at least) the stabbing facial pain?

Can anyone else on here just envision a mycotoxin floating into the nose

sinuses, landing on one of the three trigeminal nerve branches, causing

inflammation, resulting in flight or fight and a slew of other neuropathic

symptoms?

The trigeminal nerve can cause face tingling, jaw clenching, swallowing issues,

eustachian/inner ear myoclonus and a variety of other nervous system issues.

So if I can stop the trigeminal nerve from firing, can I stop the mycotoxin

related agony?

Thanks,

Tom

I'm not a doctor, these particles can land on my lungs and skin all day and I

don't react like many of you, it's simply through my nose.
