Fw: [LONG] Responses to Query re Disability Status for Trigeminal   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1968 of 2503 |
Greetings Tracy, thank you for sharing your rich websites and insights; forwarding your inquiry to several lists, and interested in your progress.
 
Here, presently,  are a few sources, and it would be terrific to hear from others (thx Lee for your post); reports are uneven: often one hears that an approach through a major illness category is best for pain conditions, but often there is education to be done to esplaint that Trigeminal Neuralgia is indeed a major, classified entity.  (See below re the ICD).  Here are some links:
