Help to Understand Trigeminal Neuralgia
This very painful, little known illness is even new to some medical professionals. Striking Back explains it in terms that are easy to understand and very helpful to both laymen and doctors. This book is a very important one to read for anyone suffering with facial pain. The pros and cons of many treatment plans are explained by a doctor and a man who had the illness.

sourcebook for all info trigeminal neuralgia from medical perspective
excellent book, regularly updated on the medical and surgical therapies available for those who suffer from this horrendous pain.
For a personl perspective I recommend Carol Jay Levy's A PAINED LIFE, a chronic pain journey.

A voice of reason and options emerges
When I was first diagnosed with TN, I was confused by a deluge of information. Weigel gently guides the reader through well-presented discussion of the neurological disorder and its treatments, both medical and alternative. A good choice for anyone who has or knows someone with trigeminal neuralgia.

Lifesaver
This book took me to Dr. Casey in Pgh and saved my life.It explained there were other alternatives than to live with the terrible pain.I have bought 4 copies of this book and have given it to people that are dealing with TN, as well as loaned out my copy.I feel the author knows how much help he has been as he also suffers from the condition.

Open minded expert advice
As a chiropractor I was fascinated at the wide array of treatments explored for this debilitating condition. The chapter on upper cervical chiropractic vindicated what many chiropractors have found with patients who respond to this specialty form of chiropractic. After actually meeting him in Australia, I was amazed to discover that Dr Casey is one of the most prominent neurosurgical specialists, carrying out thousands of successful surgeries on TN sufferers. A must for sufferers and supportive network members, who are looking for "whatever works" and not just what your average doctor might believe. ... Read more

Product Description
This up-to-date and comprehensive set of two CD-ROM discs provides a superb collection of authoritative documents on the subject of Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN). Can you imagine feeling a shock in your face as you brush your teeth or shave? If you have trigeminal neuralgia (TN), you may know exactly what it's like. You may feel extreme numbness, tingling or burning on a part of your face. Any vibration on your face, even from talking, can set it off. The condition may come and go, disappearing for days or even months. But the longer you have it, the less often it goes away. Your trigeminal nerve is responsible for sensations on your face. The cause of TN is probably a blood vessel pressing on the trigeminal nerve. Tumors and multiple sclerosis can also cause TN, but in some cases the cause is unknown.For patients, practical information is provided in clearly written patient education documents. For medical professionals, doctor reference tools and texts have detailed technical information and clinical background material. There is no other reference that is as fast, convenient, and portable - everything you need to know, from the federal sources you trust.

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Occipital neuralgia, also known as C2 neuralgia, Arnold's neuralgia, is a medical condition characterized by chronic pain in the upper neck, back of the head and behind the eyes.
