An elderly woman 52 yrs old Mrs V. B. (Pin13455) came to Life Force Homeopathy suffering from Trigeminal neuralgia since 7 years.

She was in pain, an acute attack of the neuralgia. It was a cutting pain like a sword piercing on the right side of the face. This pain would start at the corner of the mouth extending towards the head, it would last for a few days with fluctuating intensity. There was an occasional burning sensation accompanying the neuralgia. She described the pain to be unbearable and it would get impossible for her to focus on routine activities, work or even eat anything. The pains would get worse by washing the face, brushing, eating or talking.

She had undergone a tooth extraction, an year ago after which the pains had been worse. She was on Mazetol and had taken homeopathic and ayurvedic treatments which had relieved her to some extent.

She revealed her mother had passed away when she was a young girl and the responsibility of the entire family was on her shoulders since then. She is very attached to her family and is an affectionate woman.

She started with Dr Shah’s treatment for neuralgia. In 4 weeks the intensity of the pain was better by 30%. In 8 weeks the frequency of the neuralgia attacks had reduced considerably. In 4 months, the patient noticed drastic change in the neuralgia. She was a lot better and was able to concentrate on daily activities.

Gradually she was able to reduce the Mazetol and would require it less often when there was an acute attack of the pain.

The neuralgic pains reduced by 75%. She is under the care of Dr Shah and wants to continue with the treatment further.
