Hey guys, I fell each one of your pains Ive suffered with trigeminal neuralgia for eight years it started age 16 it just felt like a mild toothache so I paid no attention to it at 18 that toothache was like a painful hartbeat in my teeth the dentist said my teeth where fine and very healthy I said no something is wrong give me a root canal so he did the pain got worse ong story short I got 3 root canals and two teeth pulled one was my front then found out its this thing called TN and the only way to be pain free is microvascular decompression so I had It done and two year later it did not work but thanks be to God I have found a miracle since I have been seeing an Upper Cervical Chiropractor I've only had 6 treatments **and I can sleep again!** guys I'm sold this is are way out since I've been going here I've learned my trigeminal neuralgia was infact a blood vessel and that was being caused by the crooked atlas bone at the base of my brain Upper Cerical Chiropractic check it out guy please is from my heart. ---

I was put on verapamil after a craniotomy and gamma knife and now I have a new life. Ask your doctor about it.
