I have suffered from Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) for over seven years. TN is known as the most painful condition known to man and is called the "Su***de Disease" due to the fact that there is no cure yet and it is excruciating pain in the face and some have taken their own lives due to the constant pain. This pain made it almost impossible to eat or speak which made me lose weight and cut down on my work schedule. I have tried a variety of medications and surgeries over the years. Some gave me short periods of reduced pain but most didn't help or made it worse with side effects.
I tried Ketamine infusions at a low dose while awake at another clinic and realized some pain relief and a drop in anxiety but remained on my medications.
When I met with Dr. Mukalel, he told me that he wouldn't settle for partial relief and wanted me pain free and off all of the meds. I went through two weeks of six treatments with the dose increased each time under sedation. This sedation process and the higher dose has been very effective. I am now on maintenance and weaning off my medications and doing great. My pain is manageable and I am getting my life back.
Thank you to the friendly and compassionate team at Infusion MD for understanding my condition and committing to conquering this debilitating disease that has ruled my life for so many years.
