Young nz mother desperate for form of life back.. after failed surgeries.. we are Desperate for dental treatment to stop triggering pain.

Auckland

For many years i have suffered with the most painful condition known to man called trigeminal neuraligia aka suicide disease. which in my case is a compression from 2 main arteries carried from the brain stem along the nerve that carries sensation the the face. I have undergone 2 risky brain surgeries, many treatments and alot of medication whith nasty side effects. Unfortunately all these have failed and im now getting TN on the other side also. The pain feels as if my cheek bones are snapping , a pinching severe migraine, electric shocks as if all my nerves are firing off and chemical like burning as if acid were thrown onmy face. I have lost my form of life.. i am in bed most days just hanging on to life as i need to be here for my daughter, my main trigger at the moment is my teeth. Due to clenching during anxiety and attacks / medication they are falling apart. Just to have my smile back would boost my confidence so much.

Dental surgery in place  13 February 2019

I have been to see a dentist and they gave me x-rays and made a plan to pull and save what teeth they can .

Due to trigeminal neuralgia I will be receiving disport 2 week prior before i have to be put under a general anesthetic at the city hospital for the dental surgery.

I have talked to them about any concerns and my dental operation is booked on the 21st March where I will stay in hospital overnight for pain control.

Next step would be to get a quote and mold for a plate so I can chew.

Fingers crossed onwards and upwards
