If you've experienced it, you know exactly what I'm talking about. The burn and pain is relentless. The ex had trigeminal neuralgia which is know as the suicide disease since so many people end up taking their own lives instead of enduring constant nerve pain in their jaw. Magnesium all but eliminated it for her. Take 3-4 pills at first and then 1-2 every 12 hours. I've managed to keep the pain at bay for almost 2 days now. I've finally been able to sleep. Ibuprofen did exactly nothing to reduce it either.Thanks for that post. I'll get some magnesium next time I'm out and see if it helps. I've never heard this before.
