Trigeminal Neuralgia?

We Answered:

If your sister had neuropathy of the trigeminal nerve, I feel so much compassion for her. It is reportedly the most severe pain that a human can experience, greater than child birth and gun shot wounds. I can personally attest to the great pain, as I also suffered from neuropathy of the trigeminal nerve.

Trigeminal Neuralgia is a medical term of art, which means that the blood vessels in one's head by the trigeminal nerve have become elastic and wrapped around the nerve causing excruciating pain with compression. If you don't have the blood vessel problem, then it is called Atypical Facial Pain or Trigeminal neuropathy, which is caused by other means. I had AFP.

Trigeminal Neuralgia is often cured by surgery. The blood vessels are unwound and maybe afixed so the problem does not come back. You must see a neurosurgen for advice.

AFP may have different causes. In my case, the facial muscles were very tight (I had a muscle disorder due to being poisoned from airborne toxins, which caused my facial muscles to spasm). My muscles would spasm for weeks/months never letting up, and in fact shifted my face and changed my teeth alignment, and the roof of my mouth. These muscles squeezed on the trigem. nerve continuously causing excruciating pain, like being sliced open with a razor blade in the cheek bone and leaving it exposed to the air. Also my teeth hurt, but had nothing wrong with them, just the nerve reacting at its tips by the teeth.

It took FOREVER to figure this out. I wanted to cut off half my face.

It seems like maybe your sister is also having a reaction with tight muscles after her dentist did some work, since it was a cleaning and not surgery?

Here is what helped me: acupuncture, neuromuscular facial massage to break down the muscles and get them to relax, and pain medicine and muscle relaxers. Because I had been poisoned, I was very intolerant of many chemicals and pharmaceuticals. I can take oxycodone for the pain and ativan sublingually as a facial muscle relaxer. The emergency room doctors gave me the ativan sublingually as a muscle relaxer when I had gone there with an accute attack.

When muscles are squeezing on nerves causing pain, I have found that reputable pain clinics at hospitals are good, and physical therapists understand this problem better than surgeons or mds. Dentists wanted to rip out about 9 teeth, so make sure that any dental work like that is for sure required or that nothing else helps first. I refused the surgeries and dental work that was suggested and thank god, because it was totally unnecessary in my case. I had to get the facial muscles to quit compressing the trigeminal nerve.

I would not use homeopathic meds in this case. There is a physical cause here that can be quickly addressed for immediate relief and long term cure.

Face Swelling, Sleeplessness and Lose of Appetite Problem.?

We Answered:

His swelling could be caused by high blood pressure:then he needs to eat his meals without salt
And he might have an allergy too
Have that tested.
That he goes that much to the toilet is caused by the fact that his blood sugars are way to high.
Better ask a real Dr for medicines.

You might find this chart of Homeopathy very helpful for your DM. FBS 180 is still high. Normal is 80-100. It usually takes a pt some 8-10 yrs to discover they are diabetcis as they would be symptom-free.
So consider yourself lucky and conscientious.

It might be a good idea to print this out and tape to your refrigerator door for easy reference and access.


You should treat your constipation with lots of fruits and vegetables. Drink lots of fluids esp water. You should maintain your weight and avoid obesity. The weakness and fatigue n DM is called lassitude. But if you are obese, excess body sugars are converted to fats and become stored in the fat cells and tissues. . Obesity can lead to heart disease. Most pts with DM don't usually die from DM but heart failure. It's very impt for diabetic pts to keep their blood sugars under control to avoid any diabetic neuorpathies i.e.; poor peripheral circulation, blindness, and kidney failure.

Jacqueline Said:

Is it safe to use Homeopathic Remedies / Medicines / Drugs with other Medicines?

We Answered:

While my answer is yes, it is a qualified yes. Given the depth of your disease, and suppression (while at times necessary, steroids are like putting a lid on a boiling pot), you should not self-treat, and you should not accept homeopathic recommendations from any one other than a professional homeopath certified in classical homeopathy. Homeopathy is not the homeopathic remedy. Rather, homeopathy is the philosophy, understanding and experience in knowing which remedy to give, when to redose, when to change remedies, the meaning of symptom shifts, etc.

I've had a number of clients with severe, debilitating illness cyclically maintained and not helped by steroids. They were able to eventually get off steroids (because their symptoms resolved) under my care, because I knew how to use homeopathy to "turn down the heat."

There is one group who certifies homeopaths profession-wide in N. America. That is the Council for Homeopathic Certification (http://www.homeopathicdirectory.com). Since you're interested in homeopathy, just be sure you find someone who can help you get the most from this seemingly miraculous healing modality. Remember, if you're seeing someone who professes to offer homeopathy - and they aren't on this list - ask why they haven't tested, and find someone who has. It's really a comprehensive, difficult test. At this point in my career, I mentor graduating students so remain up on the rigorous credential process.

Thelma Said:

I have a irregular periods from the starting.but after marriage it's irregulatory increases?

We Answered:

I was very irregular when I was single and started at a very young age but after marriage it's gotten very regular. I can definately tell you that the weight gain affects our cycle, I'm over weight myself, I've already gained 50 after marriage BUT as soon as I lose 10lbs, every things starts getting back to normal immediately. Start trying to lose and stabalizing your period as of now, so when you start trying for babies, you don't have trouble. Good luck.
