I think even at one point she saw a neurologist who, again, didn't really know what was going on, and it turned out she had shingles, right? Yeah.
Donald TanenbaumGUEST
No, she actually had, she had trigeminal neuralgia.
Dean MitchellHOST
Trigeminal neuralgia, right.
Dean MitchellHOST
But was that maybe from, well, possibly from shingles, I guess.
Dean MitchellHOST
Yeah.
Donald TanenbaumGUEST
Sometimes a patient actually gets treatment on a tooth because it's so specific.
Donald TanenbaumGUEST
And the reality is it doesn't work.
Donald TanenbaumGUEST
So trigeminal neuralgia is a neuropathic pain condition.
Eric BergHOST
There's no alternatives, especially when you type in a medical condition, which, okay, fair enough.
Eric BergHOST
And even if we type in natural remedy for trigeminal neuralgia, we get the same thing, medical, medical, medical.
Eric BergHOST
Unfortunately, it's very difficult to find alternatives to medical.
Eric BergHOST
Before I kind of go into this topic, let's just take a look at what the top video says about trigeminal neuralgia.

Tracy, we recently had a listener, as you know, contact us and ask us to do a program on trigeminal neuralgia.
Michele RoyHOST
[gentle music] Welcome to the Michelle Roy Show.
Michele RoyHOST
Today in this episode, we're gonna be talking about Trigeminal Neuralgia Awareness Day.
Michele RoyHOST
This month is Facial Pain Awareness Month, and I'm dedicating this whole podcast to talk about this.
Michele RoyHOST
We need to raise awareness, my friend, and I'm so grateful to have you here.
Michele RoyHOST
Please take some time now to get relaxed, and let's have a little bit of fun.
Michele RoyHOST
Trigeminal neuralgia.
Michele RoyHOST
If you're new to this podcast, you probably haven't heard that before, and I know when I was first diagnosed, I didn't know what trigeminal neuralgia was.
Michele RoyHOST
So it's part of your fifth cranial nerve, and it's...
Adriana BucciHOST
But it was basically the nerve that was affected by the shingles, and it was so excruciatingly painful every single day.
Adriana BucciHOST
Trigeminal neuralgia is also nicknamed the suicide disease because of how painful it is.
Adriana BucciHOST
I pretty much told my husband, "I'm gonna try to give you another 10 years before you're probably gonna have to call yourself a widower, because if 30 is this painful, I am terrified of aging.
Adriana BucciHOST
I do not want to know what the future has in store for me, and I don't know that I'm gonna make it to 40." I will.
Michele RoysGUEST
It keeps me going, you know, and it's short.
Michele RoysGUEST
I've only do about a f- uh, 10 to 15 minutes episode every week, and this week is all about Trigeminal Neuralgia because it's actually coming out on the Trigeminal Neuralgia Day-
Brian RedmondHOST
Yeah
Michele RoysGUEST
... which is the 7th of October.
George BurrowsHOST
And let me start by saying this, thank you to everyone who reached out to me.
George BurrowsHOST
I got a lot of positive feedback from last week's episode about Bell's palsy and trigeminal neuralgia.
George BurrowsHOST
Specifically, I had several people tell me they had no idea that those conditions could be caused by a pinching, or what I call an interference to the nerves that run from the brain to the face.
George BurrowsHOST
And these same people also said they had no idea that a chiropractor could help with conditions like that.
