I have TN and I am being treated with Gabapentin ( with no side effects ) and acupunture.
I started with weekly acupuncture for three weeks. The pain went completely away for about 6 months. When the pain returns , I go get an acupuncture treatment or two and have always gone pain free for a period of 6 weeks to 3 months. I do not stop taking the medication when I am pain free, but I do lower the dosage by about one third.

Comment on Does Natural Equal Safe? by Melani Bolyai, L.Ac., Dipl. C.H.

No herb is harmful in and of itself – it’s the misuse of the herb. I agree. Drinking too much “natural” coffee, crushed from a bean, could overtax your heart. If you’re diabetic, eating too much sugar could kill you. Cocaine comes from a plant. Pigeon-holing Chinese Herbal Medicine as dangerous is a folly. It dismisses thousands of years worth of valuable knowledge, skill and proven results, though not “proven” by the Western medical paradigm, in many cases. Clearly, the use of synthesized drugs, also dangerous when misused, is generally successfully regulated, but that’s mostly because there is a profit in it, as aspect you make mention of. Big Pharm hasn’t found a way to engulf herbal medicine. Yet. Let’s keep educating people, patients and skeptics alike. The more everyone knows, the better.

Kendra, you are absolutely right in that I, personally, don’t prove anything.

The scientists who published their data on peer reviewed, respected journals are the ones who conducted the experiments and validated the points (pun intended). They’re the ones who did the proving.

I encourage you to look through Enck’s article, examine each and every article whose authors and study titles I quoted from Enck, and tell them your complaints and opinions. You know, those neuroscientists and doctors and all who probably don’t know diddly-squat about physiology and anatomy?

you dont actually prove anything, you just write a bunch of bull and try to make it look like science by using smart-looking words. in conclusion, you are an idiot.

Kelly, what device are you referring to? I desperately need to know. Are there any other relief options? I take Tegratol and Neurontin. Not much help. HORRIBLE PAIN< EVERY DAY. Thanks, Cindy

Hi Sandie, I used some device developed in Israel. I helped me a lot, the pain is almost gone. Try it. And good luck to your husband.
