Hi
I have left sided Trigeminal Neuralgia. It was diagnosed before MAV. It truly isnt a walk in the park. I know without doubt menopause is the partly the culprit for MAV but i also think when i have flare up of Neuralgia it also contributes. I take Gabapentin fot it

Hi Renee, thanks for sharing. My mum has this about 25years now, it’s truly awful and when she’s in a very painful flare up I’m glad I’ve only got mav. E x
