relation between bacterial spinal meningitis and developing trigeminal neuralgia

[cookerlady]

when my daughter was 13 she had bacterial spinal meningitis. she is 29 and has been diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia.  could her tn be from the meningitis?  maybe a sid effect?? she is on very strong medication and can not have the dosage increased anymore.  she suffers alot with extreme pain. thank you, i need to find out as much as i can about this disease.

I know someone who was recently diagnosed with TN and also has a lot of pain. It is a difficult condition.

There is a forum on medhelp for Trigeminal Neuralgia where you can find support and hear others' stories.  Just click on Forums in the blue menu bar up top, and scroll down to the Ts.

I hope she finds relief soon!
