So, despite my nerves, I went ahead with the mouth injections and while I am still a little sore, I havent had an attack. The doc was great and I only felt a few pinches. He has me back on gabapentin and I havent had an attack in four days! I am thankful to have every day without an attack. It was not cheap (insurance is reimbursing us a lot, thank the lord!!!!) but we paid $409 for two shots. So while it was not cheap at first, I do not regret it now! I just have to fight the drowsiness of the gabapentin! Get the nerve blocking shots if offered!!!
Good news, happy for you!
Can you be more specific about the nerve blocks? And where in your mouth you got them?
Yeahhhhh for you! : )
Great! Every pain free day is a good day!
I see neurologist next month....one more thing to ask about! lol (poor guy...wait til he see what he's gonna get when he say "do you have any questions?" Bahahahhaa!)
Thanks for sharing the good news and i hope the relief is long term for you.

That’s awesome lizloulou!!
I hope it gives you a lengthy reprieve from the pain…
Thanks for sharing your good news!
Take care of you, Mimi
He put something in my tendon (for possible TMJ) and then put a nerve block where the nerve is one the top of my mouth. You probably need a craniofacial pain doctor to have them!
Thanks Lizloulou. I will check that out. Sounds like a bit of heaven!
