I am getting ready to start a round or neuro stim on my ear to treat my TN. Was wondering if anyone else has tried this?
I have had TN for about a year now. It started last year with a root canal and lasted about 4 months. Tegretol worked somewhat, and then my flare ups stopped. I got off all my meds and for 8 months had myself convinced it was gone.
Then I had another root canal and it came back. I am back on the tegretol and will start the neuro stim next week.
I am hoping it will help me get off all the medications again. I hate going to pain management. They treat you like a child, and it’s ridiculous. I am an adult, and I want to be treated like one. I wouldn’t be there if I could help it. I don’t WANT their pain meds, I don’t want to NEED their pain meds. I would stop taking them all if I could. But without the meds, I end up wishing I was dead.
TN sucks. Chronic pain sucks. People treating us like drug abusers sucks. I want my life back, and I am hoping neuro stim gets me closer to that.
What’s a neuro stem? Are you type one or two?
