I am so sorry for your pain. Please don't give up hope. Your life is important and you matter.
Although I was never diagnosed with your illness, I did have severe ongoing jaw pain, I believe from misalignment. I was taking aspirins around the clock. For another reason (scar tissue reduction), I began taking Serrapeptase (enteric coated capsules), 120,000 units on an empty stomach twice a day. Within two weeks after I started the Serrapeptase I realized my jaw pain had stopped completely! I tried stopping the Serrapetase several times, and the pain would gradually return. Eventually I did stop taking it, and now only once in a while will the pain return, and not as bad as it had.
God Bless You.

Dear Partha from India:
A year later I am answering you. so sorry. But I wonder why you haven't tried the Biogetica homeopathic remedy that comes from India. I have used it twice before and it helps better than the meds doctors prescribe. However, it takes about 2 months for it to kick in, so I would advise that you stay on your meds for 2 mths and then slowly taper down the meds. It has helped people even after failed MVD surgeries, so I know it could help you. However, with everything with TN, the pain comes back after about 6 mths, or so. So you must then find something in the interim, and then resume the meds. I wish the doctors at biogetica could answer why it takes 2 mths to kick in and then only lasts 6 mths.
I have found vitamin B12 shots to help too, for a longer period of time, but they are expensive.
