trigeminal neuralgia
"I was diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia if Feb. 2005.  The pain associated with this is excruciating, to say the least.  I have never had such pain in all my life.  Just two nights ago I was in the ER with another episode. The doctor prescribed me Neurontin. I slept so good last night! The first good night's sleep I have had since I can remember.  My episodes happen unexpectedly and it could happen at the drop of a hat.  Then I might go a year before another "attack". I just never know when this will occur.  But I do know one thing, I would not wish this on my worst enemy.  I am praying that the Neurontin will help subside the "attacks" and the horrible pain associated with Trigeminal Neuralgia."
