Guess I spoke too soon about my pain being under control. I had a few zaps last night and a few more this morning when I was eating, drinking and brushing my teeth. My TN is on my left side. I sleep on my left side a lot. I stopped doing it as much when I was in such intense pain before I got it under control. I have since resumed doing it a lot. Does anyone know if this can make it worse again? Do I need to train myself to NOT sleep on my left side so much? The zaps aren't as intense and don't last as long since I am on Tegretol, but I am so stressed now wondering if it will come back full-force. This disease can cause some PTSD for sure! Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
I would get some prescription lidocaine mouthwash and topical lidocaine patches or cream
saved my life!
Let your doc know asap when your meds begin to fail. It happens a lot because our bodies become immune to the med over time. Take care, dear 
Thanks y'all!
Lidocaine patch, oh I need this!!
