Guest guest Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 I can't say for sure if this is related to my chelation or not. All I can say is I never had it before chelation. It began last fall (sept-ish). At first I thought it was a toothache. That had gotten really bad. As in affected the whole side of my face. I would get these bouts of pain, unbearable that started about jaw joint level and ran down the side of my face, through my upper teeth, lower teeth right to the front of my mouth, chin. Only on the right side. I'd have weeks without this pain. Then out of the blue it starts back up again. I have read horrible things about the treatment for this, mainly drugs, and sometimes surgery to ablate the nerve, so it's numb. Anyway, I do remember Andy mentioning poisoning of the third cranial nerve in the face. I am also reading this happens with demyelination of the nerve covering. (as in MS or other nerve diseases). I am wondering if maybe mercury could cause damage to this nerve, but why would it only become a problem now? In the past year, after chelating a year already? This is also called tic delaroux for those who may be familiar with that name. My mother had this same thing happen off an on for months, finally it went away. I have had the help of a chiropractor, he said the nerve is being pinched off for some reason and he fixes my neck/jaw etc. This helps calm things down, but it comes back. Has anyone else had this? Did you find a way to get rid of it? It's not something you want to have forever, I can tell you that. Way more painful that childbirth to me. I already had the dentist x ray the teeth on the upper side, because at first I thought a tooth might be the trigger. He said there were not abscesses. It's also ironic that I started a round today. I had the twinges the past few days that usually mean, I am going to have an attack of this. Sure enough... Well anyway...thanks for any information anyone might have...
