Guest guest Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Hi Dee.... Trigeminal Neuralgia can cause considerable pain. Kate has it much worse than I do and has had surgery twice for it to decompress the nerves, or something like that. I just can't remember today. I know she had Gamma Knife surgery once for it. Mine usually doesn't cause a lot of pain--my pain is more moderate I think. But when it flares up I get a terrible stabbing through my ear. The prednisone helps ease it off. And, yep, I do get some bad headaches from the prednisone. thanks for the hugs! SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

Is there a lot of pain for you beyond the strange sensations? cannot even imagine...how long will you take the prednisone? I didn't realize prednisone can cause headaches...full of surprises~ hugs and encouragement to you!Dee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
