My lovely wife is now having a big problem with >> Trigeminal Neuralgia <<
The drugs the doctors give her for the bad pain only partially work, they knock her out for anywhere from 4 to 6 hours, and they give her nasty side effects like a bad rash. The surgical options seem to sound as bad as the pain, and most are NOT covered by our "National Health Care" which would cost us maybe $6000 or more and could possibly not work, or if it does come back in two years
One thing I have found online that looks promising, is a product called >> "Painshield" << it looks fairly new to the market so there is not a lot of info out there....?
I'm wondering if anyone has something they can offer up about this problem, this is something that we cannot just live with.
Thanks!
