yeah, she was tough. Sadly, she did pass a few years ago, due to pneumonia. However, the surgery did bring some relief ans she was able to put her dentures back in so we could take her to dinner. Good luck with you Mom.

My wife's grandmother was diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia and it was hard on her. She was in her 80's. After about a year of her "jolts" and being referred to doctors all over she saw a specialist in California that did an intensive radiation therapy on the nerve. She had a lot of numbness in the side of her face, but she said it was worth it to have relief from the pain. The nerve re-generated after about a year, though, so it wasn't a permanent solution. Hope she gets some relief.
