New here with Type 2 Trigeminal Neuralgia
So I went to the ENT for unrelenting pain and pressure on the left side of my sinuses which has been getting increasingly worse over the last 6 months or so. CT was clear which led to this diagnosis. I can’t get in with Neuro until September, so he started me on 100 mg of gabapentin. I am terrified to start it because I know it’s a heavy duty drug. I am 49 F and on hormone therapy as well. I take 10 mg of Lexapro also to help with some of the mood swings from perimenopause. Anyway, I feel like I have a long road ahead of me to find relief and wanted to say hi, introduce myself and thank you all for sharing your stories and experiences.
