Avoiding your triggers as much as possible. Using straws for drinks and eating soft foods when you have an attack. Wear scarves over your face when going outside. See a neurologist regularly and have your pain meds reviewed on a regular basis. Take your meds regularly. Use heat or cold packs, whichever works for you best. Take Vitamin B12. Use a good support network for advice. Use a card when you are out and about that tells people you have TN and you may be temporarily unable to speak. Educate your friends, family and co-workers so they know what to expect. Use fluoride mouthwash when you can't brush your teeth. Educate your dentist, they don't always know about TN and if he's not understanding, find another. Advise your hairdresser of your condition, make sure the water is warm enough when they wash your hair. When you can't wash your hair use dry shampoo or wear a scarf or a hat.
