Trigeminal Neuralgia

I am once again suffering from trigeminal neuralgia. Taking gabapentin but pain is still so bad. Any tips on what could relieve it?

Hi @maureena I feel your pain, I've had it in random episodes for a couple of years...wouldn't wish that pain on my worst enemy, it's terrible isn't it 😬 Only thing I find that relives it slightly, is by putting a heat pack in the microwave, wrapping it up in a pillowcase (so you can still get the heat, but it doesn't burn your face) and holding it against my face where the pain is, for as long as I can. Hope this helps a little x

I have just got over it, for me cold packs from the freezer helped but i take cannabis at night to help with pain it really helped with the pain with TN
