Personal Story

TN Association  is doing wonderful job.  In India no such good effort has been made yet.  Many of the doctors know very little about TN problem. 

Your Spring 2005 Issue of TNALERT has prompted me to write the following:

I had been suffering from TN for a very long time - it  has been horrible.  However, for the last two and a half years I did not have any attack.  I am not taking any medicine.  I used to take Tegratol and Zeptol.  The cause for relief may be:

I had by-pass surgery in 1998 and have been trying to take fat free diet.  Supplements suggested by my cardiologist, which I am taking include Aspirin (50mg), Vitamin B6, B12, Calcium.  I take one tablet of each daily.  The usefulness of Vitamins B 6 and 12 for TN has been reported already. 

The fat-free diet is definitely helping. 

I remember that filling a balloon with aire in the mouth, at the time of pain, there was some relief.

May some persons find the above useful.  With regards and salutes to your organization,

Yours truly, Dr. L. D. T.
