Meanwhile the machine is jury rigged to power bar to turn it on and off, plus it's not set right, works ok then slows down too much and wont allow enough air during sleep, so I'm dying anyway, probably made for a tiny little Chinamans lung capacity I always had a bit of apnea now its making me go retarded I lay down and in 5 mins my nose is completely closed, can't even get to sleep trying to breath through my mouth so I'm dependant on my machine o r I stay awake until I go unconscious and it's ruined my life I aint doing no operations, these people are fkn idiots eventually I will find and kill God for this and a great many other acts of gross negligence maybe try injecting painkillers or opioids you can always go on methadone later don't blame me if you get jacked by a dealer or busted or hooked for life, or divorced from the personality changes, or broke from the expense.

Don't take any medication while fasting. If your doctor says its not safe to go without your medication then don't do any fasting. NEVER take medication while fasting. Your body will habituate to the medication. If you are fasting and take medication, stop your fast and start eating again. After 3-5 days your nervous system should normalize and the pain should go away. You should be able to fast for at least two weeks without any problem if you want to. |

Nothing suspect there. Nope! Happens every day. lol listen up fruitcake, I have DMSO in gallons at 99% and MOXY with DMSO and some other shit in a roll on because I live on a working horse ranch. I had not even thought of using it until it was suggested here. It still hurts like hell, and I can tell the DMSO effect is starting to wear off, but there has been a significant improvement, especially to my morale.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 63382600 Romania 01/04/2017 10:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It has been 30 days since I had bi-max MMA surgery to fix a topological defect in my airway. The procedure is defined by the detachment and re-attachment of the upper and lower mandible, after moving both forward a set distance and the reattching them with titanium plates and screws. In my case it was ~ 12mm. It has, thank God, well and truly cured my sleep apnea. I was averaging 70 episodes per hour in which I would hold my breath for 30 seconds or longer. Quoting: Apocalypse Troll I was dying a little bit every night. Imagine seeing a coffin instead of a bed... The procedure required my face to be peeled back from inside my mouth. During the procedure my surgeon noticed my nostril airways were also constricted and bored them out with some kind of roto-rooter bone burr saw and then sewed all the skin back together. I was bitten by a black widow on a nerve plexus in my left arm about a decade ago. I thought that was the most pain a person could endure. It literally slowed my perception of the passage of time it was so intense. That was nothing, I now clearly see. I have developed atypical neuralgia in my maxillary v2 and mandibular v3 branches off my trigeminal nerve. I close my eyes and can see the skin peeling back from my lips and chin as it is turned to ash by intense heat and fire, only to regenerate and it starts all over again. That is juxtaposed with the sensation that the skin is covered by constantly agitating and bursting pustules cause by exposure to acid or some biological agent. It absolutely has not stopped since the surgery, not even for a moment, and today is the worst day yet. I fear walking too fast because the wind of my passage, on my face, is an inferno. Baby spoons are made of Constantino wire. The whiskers of my dogs are electrified whips. The prognosis is good, they say, as I have recovered some feeling in the areas that were so abused by the surgery, but the possibility of 5 more months of this has despair folding me into the dark abyss of its clawed, leathery wings. GLP has power because the members believe. Please send me healing thoughts and prayers, I beg you. When you read this I pray you are healed from that moment... and you realize that I prayed IN JESUS NAME... so become a believer in Him and follow Him by studying his Word, praying to Him and serving Him all the days of your life. If you read this and the pain lessens or goes completely away, you will KNOW HE IS TRUE.... follow Him when it happens because i believe He is going to help you NOW IN JESUS NAME! |

User ID: 31229896 United States 01/04/2017 10:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You should not be in this much pain especially without it being managed. This can easily cause stroke or even acute heart palpitations. Not questioning but not too sure why any surgeon would do so much at one time especially in an area where nerves are so closely woven and the slightest mishap can cause so many problems ranging from eating disorders to different types of palsy. I would demand pain management even if you need to be hospitalized because it' sounds like you are experiencing hallucinations from the agony. If you've never had any documented addiction or drug abuse then the only reason these doctors don't want to prescribe heavy duty pain meds is they don't want to file extra documents with their insurance. This is no excuse period for your pain to continue. Praying for you right now. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 73707055 United States 01/04/2017 10:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OP, the trigeminal clearly was damaged during the surgery. It was almost unavoidable in your case; it can be damaged even during routine oral surgery. Typical synthetic opioid pain killers don't do much for damaged nerve pain, as you're seeing. You need to get on top of this pronto, or it could become a permanent pain situation -chronic neuralgia, and all its attendant issues. Need to reverse the neural pathway of the pain ASAP. And it *can* be healed. Do this: Get Benfotiamine, 300 mg. Take one twice a day, every single day. Get *SUB LINGUAL* methylcobalamin, 5000 mcg. Not cyanocobalamin; it is far less bio-available. Dissolve one under your tongue every single day. This combination will vastly accelerate healing of the damaged nerve, putting a stop to the neural-brain path. Clinical studies (not widely reported in this country, cuz big pharma would rather sell their drugs) bear this out. Have myself observed the healing of a doctor-predicted permanent neuralgic problem in someone who followed the protocol. Pretty amazing. Just do this, along with the DMSO. It at least won't harm you, and I feel certain it will help. BTW, stay far far away from anything containing acetaminophen. It is notorious for causing chemical-induced hepatitis. My sincerest sympathies, and God speed! Please try the protocol. |
