Guest guest Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Hi all My best friend seems to have Trigeminal Neuralgia - terrible pain in the right side of the jaw, sometimes forehead above the eyes etc. She has anorexia, gluten-intolerance, irritable bowel, has suffered headaches since her late teens (is now 42), had to have a hysterectomy and pelvic reconstruction at 39yo due to complete pelvic prolapse, as a very young child her parents thought she may have Autism although that concern didn't persist, she had intermittent 'attacks' of lots of mouth ulcers (yeast?). She is considering going down the medical route to investigate the possible neuralgia which will likely involve lots of tests and ultimately some full-on medications to try to control the pain. Because of where I'm at I am personally convinced she has amalgam illness and that addressing her mercury toxicity may well be the long term solution to her (many) health woes. I'm torn between trying to convince her to investigate her mercury toxicity or keeping out of it - maybe I'm wrong and let's face it, it's not a quick fix. Members of this group must face this dilemma - what do you do? (Sorry if this is a bit off topic.) Alison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 --- Alison, I really, really feel for you - what a dilema! Perhaps you could discuss your thoughts with her but explain that if she does go down that route it is not an easy one. But then, she hasn't been helped so far by conventional routes either! What I can say about the trigeminal neuralgia though is that she should have a cavitat scan to look for cavitations in her jaw. I have read that a lot of the time the TN is caused by this but not diagnosed. (It's yet another problem that Dentists either do not know about or deny and Doctors certainly wouldn't have heard of it. If she has a history of root canals and/or extractions on that side of the face then there is a VERY strong chance that cavitation(s) are the problem. It's a whole lot better than just going for the horrendous drugs they will give her which may not even help. TN is excrutiating and I witnessed it's effects first hand on one of my friends. At times she was suicidal! Wishing you good luck. It's so hard to have the knowledge we do and not be able to help our friends and family.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 > intermittent 'attacks' of lots of mouth ulcers (yeast?). Tongue sores, at my house, meant food intolerance. Ulcers on the lips and gums were viral, helped by lysine and sometimes selenium and B vitamins. >>I'm torn between trying to convince her to > investigate her mercury toxicity or keeping out of it - maybe I'm > wrong and let's face it, it's not a quick fix. Members of this group > must face this dilemma - what do you do? Enzymes if they are food issues, lysine for viral, would be quicker. My SIL was having problems similar to what I had before doing my own biomedical. I would just say " this is what it was for me " and let her make her own decision. She said " my doctor says it is X " so she went with her doctor's recommendations, which included surgery at one point. It did not help. She finally decided to try what worked for me, and it worked. I only tell people what eliminated the problem for my family, and then let them decide. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
