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
