I don’t have it, but...


I did go through bouts of trigeminal nerve aggravation post-radiation for a brain tumor. Holy fark that was the most painful thing I’ve ever experienced. Suicide disease is a pretty appropriate nickname for it based on my experience. My trigeminal nerve aggravation subsided with steroids and time as the brain tumor inflamation settled down and the tumor went dormant.

I wouldn’t hesitate to switch things up, find an excellent neurologist or neurosurgeon and look at treatments beyond medication for addressing the issue. Don’t limit yourself to local doctors. Find the experts in the field and contact them. You may be surprised at how willing they are to help and/or what options are available.
