Hello, my name is Jon Bell and I've been a Telephone Support Contact person for several years for the Trigeminal Neuralgia Association. I am 58 years old and have suffered with Trigeminal Neuralgia pain on the left side of my face for 8 years. I am one of the lucky TN patients who has been able to control the TN pain, most but not all of the time, with a combination of drug therapies, dietary supplements, acupuncture and yoga relaxation techniques. If you have some questions about Trigeminal Neuralgia, I may be able to provide some personal insights about my own successes (and failures) in controlling the agony of Trigeminal Neuralgia.
