Trigeminal Neuralgia Treatment Options?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been suffering with Trigeminal Neuralgia for almost 2 years.I have relapsing remitting ms and have only been diagnosed for 2 years. I have tried Carbamazepine, Lamotrigine, Gabapentin and now on Pregabalin. The side effects are so horrible I don’t know how anyone could possibly live a normal life. Has anyone tried or done surgical options to treat this as I am highly considering it. I don’t even care if I was to lose the sensation of the impacted side of my face. It is on the right side of my face and the pain also impacts my right arm and neck. I would love to know anyones experience with it and if anyone has tried surgical or even injection treatments as the medication makes me feel like a sleeping zombie.

I expect you know this stuff already, but just in case.
