- Learning about Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN)? What is TN? Trigeminal neuralgia is a neurological disorder most common in women over 50, and usually, it's severe pain on one side of your face and it's sharp, stabbing pain. That, and then electrical shocks, also come along with it. The pain is on and off, and then the shocks are on and off as well.
- How and when the symptoms started and progressed.
- The difficulty in getting diagnosed. There were many doctors involved over multiple years. Many didn’t know.
- How Medication worked. Effects and side effects of gabapentin.
- Taking the step to travel from Albuquerque to Lubbock to get real relief. Her family pushed her to seek whatever solution possible. She was in such severe pain one of her daughters had to call because Dawn was unable to talk. The daughter found information on TikTok. They also read The book: What Time Tuesday? By James Thomasi
- What the treatment was like: Dawn says she came in absolutely petrified, to be honest. I was petrified because the thought of adjusting the neck and everything freaked her out. Immediately after the adjustment, her thought was:"Wow. It was nothing!"
- The Healing Process. After the very first adjustment, Dawn stopped having the severe, take you to your knees, electrical shocks. It wasn't just immediate, but every day she was feeling a little bit better.95% improved at the time of the recording.
- Advice to people suffering from Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN):I do realize people's pain with trigeminal, and it's life-changing. The day that you figure out you have trigeminal neuralgia, your life changes forever. I would just say that don't give up. Keep trying to find something that works and helps you.
