I don't have the TN but would certainly share the word with the teacher so that you don't have to be "strong" all the time in the presence of other people who have no clue! Why would increasing baclofen help with pain...isn't it an anti-inflamatory? Isn't there something that can block the pain signal? I've had just a small bout of TN we believe that hurt the ears with no apparent reason and a few light pains but imagine your off the charts with serious TN, there has to be something. How long does it usually last for you? DeeTo: MSersLife Sent: Wed, May 25, 2011 12:12:42 PMSubject: pain dr. Hi all, Still with the TN pain. I'm wondering if anyone has had experience with pain doctors. My neuro simply is raising my baclofen, but I can already (at 15 mgs) start to feel sleepy. I'm thinking an appt with one might prove to be helpful, but wanted to know what ya'll thought. I'm still doing the computer training, but find it exceedingly difficult to focus with the pain, and with the meds making me sleepy. Planning on giving to the instructor the word, 'trigeminal neuralgia' so she can look it up and see what I'm suffering with. Maybe she'll understand...especially when I make those grimacing faces at her! lol. love you all, with gentle hugs, Kate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
