trigeminal neuralgia two

I tried a new medication for my trigeminal neuralgia pain. I don’t remember what was called but it really messed up my MS. I felt hot all the time and overall very weak and sleepy. My spasms were worse and my right hand was curled up in a ball most of the time. Very difficult to run an iPad or PC without at least one finger. I called the doctor Monday.

They called back that afternoon. One choice was to increase the dosage of gabapentin. They chose to switch me to an alternate painkiller. It happened to be one I took a year ago for neck pain. I started taking that yesterday. Pain is still there but the side effects are much easier to deal with. So far I don’t notice any side effects.
Please continue to pray for me. My right hand is come back a little bit but not like I needed to be. I required my son to log on to my PC so I could post this. Thank you so much.
