How good is your pain relief? I am still getting little zingers from time to time.
Should I expect to feel nothing, or is tolerable, what you aim for?
I am on 100 mg of gabapentin. Ohly one dose of methelprednisone left.
If this stays where it is, Overall I would be at a 1 to 4 pain scale and the 4 are only momentary zingers a few times a day. I don't want to be a big baby about this, and I don't want to take more than I need.
Just don't know what to demand as far as relief goes.
I am way better than where I was. (hammer on my cheekbone and temple).
0 pain is the goal.
You’re on a very low dose of Gabapentin ( Neurontin) if you are still in pain, you need to talk to your doctor about increasing your medication.
No one should have to live in pain.
It might take a few weeks to find your therapeutic dose, but it’s worth it if you can have 0 pain and function normally.
Nobody is a baby with TN, the pain is horrid and exhausting. So please don’t worry about that,
