Big changes coming. We are emptying and selling the house. Gonna miss the yard and all of it. Tenant is not into gardening so the flower beds are an overgrown shitshow, but a few things don’t mind the lack of attention. The peonies and indigo could takeover the world 😅.
Scalaxine works better for some people than baclofen and it does not have the fatigue or dizziness profile that is common with baclofen.

Why these options are just being presented to me is beyond annoying. Anyway, keep asking your doc questions, and keep the faith.
Ask them for an ***acute flare plan*** so you’re ready to roll with a quick intervention and meds already on hand

I didn’t give that rain storm enough credit.
If you’re having a flare, you can have high dose prednisone on hand for a custom tapering protocol. Relief in 48ish hours usually.
I’ve had this disorder for 8+ years and seen 3 different neuros at Mayo, DHMC and USF. I am refractory to most meds with idiopathic V2 TN.

Hey #TrigeminalNeuralgia peeps. My neurologist shared more treatment options, passing along in case it helps…
1) Sphenopalatine Ganglion (SPG) Block (SphenoCath brand). No needles. Can last for days, weeks or months. Simple in-office procedure, nearly instant relief for some. Repeatable. V2.

Our 6-8 week barnacle scraping and hull 🫧 in GA costs $270. A 90ft yacht near us did not get cleaned for well over a year, his estimate was $15,000 and he had to haul out (adds thousands) because he put it off another 6 months and the growth was 🤯
Incredibly taxing work. Our guy has Popeye arms.
Turns out there is another low side effect anti-convulsant choice if your trileptal, tegretal, or lamotrigine is not working or the side effects suck. Eslicarbezapine which was designed for fewer side effects.
