tried almost every one

Hi, thanks for the response. I have been on almost every pain killer, anticonvulsant, NSAID, Antidepressant (ones used for nerve pain), ETC. and they all caused horrible side effects or just plain dont work at all.
I'm a rare case in the fact that medications just dont work or I have to take triple the amount you or the other person would take and barely have it work. My mother has the same condition.
As far as a pain doc. , yes I have been to 1 and they just recommended the same things I was already doing or to stay on the narcotics.
One thing I forgot to mention in my post is I have no Insurance and I have to pay out of pocket for doc apt.s ,meds, specialists, etc. I have a pile of doc, ER, urgent care and specialists bills.
Another problem I have is that Trigeminal neuralgia is a condition that has to do with the nerves in my face and meds dont always work to take away the pain because the mylin sheath is worn away.
Thanks for looking
