So strange. My brother has trigeminal neuralgia. It’s so rare it took the doctors forever to diagnose. He finally wound up in an er and one of the doctors there knew about it because his dad had it. The drugs finally quit working on my brother and he had brain surgery 2 months ago. The kind where they drill a hole, go in, and put little silicone pillows around the nerves in that area. He says so far it’s working. No more pain.
That’s great. If you’ve ever experienced that pain, you know why people have killed themselves over it. It’s one of the areas Ben Carson specialized in.
