My dad had Trigeminal Neuropathy following surgery on his eye. The pain went away after a few months and some Lyrica.

Sounds like you found someone who actually cares and is actually going to do something! Was wondering where I'd heard that drug name before and see from the comments that it's used for fibromyalgia so I've seen commercials for it. Interesting.
Wish you hadn't googled...that just doesn't help at all!
Still praying in Seattle!
Psalms 31:1-3 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness. Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me. For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.

i'm also waiting with baited breath to hear about the MIL visit.

Although really...this entry was pretty Rad....Not because you have numbness in your face....because you capture all the details on the crazy irony in a friken hilarious way.

Write a book.....I would totally buy it for 19.95.

Although I'd rather you not have headaches and numbness

Okay, here's the word I want you to concentrate on: IDIOPATHIC!! That and RELIEF from the new meds.

Just call me the new Google.

Anyway, it sounds like you finally have a doctor I think I can like. That's good, too. You've had more than your share of not so great ones.

And now you have one in the family.

Speaking of family, the entry I expected was one with a laundry list of things you held in during your visit with your MIL....

I'll wait. It's only a matter of time.

Ok, I have to go here. I know it's serious and all, but, schwannoma??

That's like the funniest word I've ever heard. It sounds like something made up by Wayne & Garth. Schwing-noma. Heee...

Don't hate me.

I hate when I create panic for myself via Google. So sorry it happened to you, too.

Sending you thoughts and prayers for the doctors to figure out what’s wrong, and be able to fix it quickly.

Hey! A glowing testimonial from Ness! That’s really cool, after reading your dire list of possible causes. Here’s the Lyrica working and being all you need!

I am on Lyrica for fibromyalgia and it has made a great difference in my fibro pain as well as the CFS portion of fibromyalgia. Good luck and still so proud of your husband!
