Trigeminal Neuralgia

1 success story about trigeminal neuralgia.


I have been seeing Dr. Friedman since December of 2000. On a whim, because I had a friend that swore by him but actually I was skeptical. Well it being December and all I decided to give him a try. The reason I chose December is because I had paid all my deductibles on my insurance.

After the initial talk we had, Dr. Friedman and my husband were talking to each other and I could not hear them. After all the x-rays, which I might add when you are hurting both in your back and in your head you just wish they would hurry. I found out later that they were necessary to treat me because everyone is different.

I was hurting so bad that I was getting nauseous. Of course when he told me to lie down on the little table I was waiting for the usual popping and carrying on but all he did was touch me on my ear. And immediately my pain went away.

Then he had me stand up in front of my husband and they began their talk again. But this time they told me what it was. Dr. Russell had showed my husband how one of my shoulder slouched and upon the adjustment it stood up straight. So he made a believer out of my husband right then and there. Of course I couldn't of altered the outcome because I didn't know what was being said.

Well he took more x-rays and there it was a marked improvement on all that was wrong with me. The only thing was that he had given me a pamphlet telling me of some side effects. He said I would feel pretty good for 2 days and then on the third day I would feel like a truck ran over me. And that I might even feel like I had the flu or at least some flu like systems.

Well to make a long story short I forgot about what he said about the 3rd day. And it just so happened that Dr. Russell called me on that day. He asked me how I felt and I told him if he had called the first or second day I would have told him great but that 3rd day I wished I had never saw him. He gently asked me did I remember what he told me about the 3rd day and of course I did not.

Which I will put a plug in f
