Having a good caring doctor familiar with treating TN, and knows the limitations of their ability.
WARMTH! Sometimes I hold a hearing pad to my face,
Support from others who have the same disease
GF diet (completely) - episodes went from avg of 4 to 10 per week down to 4 per month on average
Anti convulsions drugs have helped
Not having to stress about work.
Yoga, ayurveda and enough sleep
support of my husband
Have now been stable on Tegretol & Gabapentin since MVD in 2010
The meds work well for me, despite horrible side effects.
Sleep schedule
Having my husband as a support person. I know he has my best interest at heart.
Being a member of online support groups. They are my other family and some have become closer than biological family members. They have pulled me out of dark places and I know sharing my experiences has helped others. My husband is my rock; my foundation.
Have used LDN for MS for 13 years and I do think it helped me for at least the first 8 years.
