My Migraine Headache (TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA)

Hi, my name is Missy

I have Trigeminal Neuralgia, and this can give you migraine headaches. I have had this for about 3 years now. It started as my doctor telling me this was just a virus, and it would have to run its course.

A week later I was back at the doctor's office worse than I was a week before. Now they were telling me I had a severe sinus infection and gave me 3 types of medicine. Still a few days later I was no better.

This time when I went back I found my angel doctor.

Let me start by telling you a little about Trigeminal Neuralgia. It affects 3 vessels/nerves in your head, the top part of your head, the top part of your jaw, and the lower part of your jaw.

For me, all 3 of mine were inflamed but did not hurt all at the same time. When the top part hurt if felt like a bad migraine headache, when it hurt around my jaws it felt like a real bad toothache.

I had so much pressure in my head from this that I could not even lay down to sleep, I just wanted to stick my head in a vice and squeeze.

This time my doctor gave me medicine, and within a couple of days the pain was going away. I still have flare ups that can be very severe. At times they can last anywhere from a day to a couple of days then the pain just goes away like it never hurt.

I now take medicine every day for this and pray every day that it does not hurt. For me this is my (migraine headache).
