What is it?

Stabbing, burning, aching, electric shock-like...these are all descriptions that have been used to refer to the pain caused by trigeminal neuralgia.  This chronic pain disorder, also known as tic douloureux, has been said to cause the most excruciating pain known to humanity.  Trigeminal neuralgia is sometimes called 'the suicide disease' because of a number of people who have taken their own lives as an alternate to living with this pain.  A person diagnosed with this disorder is often made physically and mentally incapacitated for the duration of these bouts of pain.

In the picture below, you can see that this nerve splits into three separate branches.  The nerve endings from branch 1, the uppermost branch, end in the forehead and eye area.  Branch 2 nerve endings end in the nose and upper mouth and branch 3 nerves end in the lower mouth and jaw.  These areas are where trigeminal neuralgic pain is felt.


Trigeminal neuralgia is caused by pressure on the trigeminal nerve, which innervates the face.  This pressure is often due to a blood vessel pressing on the nerve and wearing down the myelin sheath, or the insulating cover that surround nerve cells.  In some rare cases the pressure is caused by a tumor. Symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia may also appear in multiple sclerosis, which is a disease in which the body attacks the myelin sheath.

Regardless of the cause of the pressure, the pain that comes with the disorder can be unbearable and must be closely managed in order to allow those diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia to function.

  1. As a sign of gratitude for how my husband was saved from neuralgia, i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
    My husband suffered neuralgia and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because he was my all and the symptoms were terrible, we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure him. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony of so many people who was cured from neuralgia. and so many other with similar body problem, and they left the contact of this doctor who had the herbal cure to neuralgia. I never imagined neuralgia has a cure not until i contacted him and he assured me my husband will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my husband used it and in one months he was fully okay even up till this moment he is so full of life.neuralgia has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on drwilliams098675@gmail.com on how to get the medication. Thanks for reading my testimony .
