Hi Reg
Also nearly 5 yrs along. Awful facial pain. Smile not too bad but I feel its not great because it hurts. I am also on Lyrica low dose was 2 by 75 mgs per day. I cut it down to 1 dose 75 mgs. I tried to do without it alltogether and pain was so bad so it must work somewhat.
Take care and hope things improve. You kind of get used to pain after a while and its hard to know what is normal.

Hi. I haven't posted for a long time but, 6 years post op, my right blocked nostril is now open and active! I can also just about manage to whistle! I still have problems with dry mouth and my right eye runs when I eat but I hope the first two things may make you feel hopeful of the future. :D
