Fallon/Trigenal Neuralgia/?CC

[Guest guest]

Got a quick question. For those of you have been diagnosed w/TN, I need help

w/Fallon.

Fallon has this on the right side of her face (sorry, I think I told some of

you it was the other side..) that had nerve damage during the last surgery

that she has decreased feeling in. Her boyfriend was goofing around w/her on

Saturday and was playfully teasing her about the fact that she can't feel

that side of her face-no harm, but he was poking on it, which NONE of knew

would do harm but apparently has....since that evening her pain from this has

been worse, to the degree she is now taking the Tompamax (medicine #7!) on a

regular basis, now on day 3, and really not any better. What else can we do

to make this better? heat? ice?

Apparently stimulation makes it worse, something we all know now. Her

boyfriend feels terrible!

Anyways any helpful hints in dealing would be appreciated.
