I have had a question from Fariba about what pain did I experience with trigeminal neuralgia.
The pain was like a massive electric shock going through your face. Sometimes it could last for a few minutes or 10 minutes, each episode was different. The things that set it off were talking, eating, cleaning your teeth, washing your face, blowing your nose and even a slight breeze blowing onto your face. When I was at my worst I would have rated the pain 25 out of 10!!! It is now over 2 months since I had the operation and I am still pain free. If anyone has any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

Trigeminal neuralgia is one of the neurological side affects of PRS. I have been suffering from this neuralgia for at least 10 years and over the last 6 months the condition just became unbearable. I was on Tegratol which did help for awhile but I was becoming immuned to it so it was time to seek help from a specialist. I had all the symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia and my specialist offered me surgery. When I mentioned I had PRS my doctor was concerned because she had never heard of PRS and wanted to do some research before I accepted the surgery. She found no written information of anyone with PRS having an operation for trigeminal neuralgia. I decided to go ahead with the operation but was given only a 50% chance of success. The operation requires putting a spacer between the artery and nerve but in my case it was veins pressing on the nerve and they were cauterised. It is now 2 months since the operation and I have gone of all medication and haven't had any pain at all. This was one successful operation.

I am searching for a doctor who has treated Parry Romberg/LS En Coupe De Sabre. I have the neurological affects and until my face started " splitting" my doctors were stumped. My Rheumatologist said he will try to contact John Hopkins to find a specialist, but I don't have much faith. I'm hoping someone will be able to provide the name of a Neuro...Rheumatologist... whom you trust. Thanx!!!

Hi, thanks for this great resource. I'd like to ask - do you know what insurance options are available for US citizens in NYC to cover reconstructive surgery following a road accident? Asking on behalf of a friend. Thanks in advance for your help.

I am also looking for information on getting insurance to cover fat injections/ micro surgery or other cosmetic fillers. I have been living with this for 6 years and hiding behind it as much as I can with my hair. . . fed up and ready for freedom. I certainly cannot afford to do it without insurance. Has anyone been able to get insurance to cover their procedures? I'd love to hear from you, thanks a bunch.

Hello,

Are there any medical grants available to help with the constant reconstruction costs? I like the fat transfers as they are the safest, look the most natural and last the longest. But even those must be done once a year-I do not have this type of money. Any suggestions?

At 18 i was told to wait if i ever wanted a surgery to be done, as they thought it would be better to opt for it once the progression ceases.
Am 21 now, i want to go for surgery but before that i want to collect as much information that could help me go through it without much hurdles.
Firstly, wanted to know the approx total cost of the reconstructive surgery in ndian Rupees.
