Hey Frens, looking for some direct experiences with DMSO.

Context: My mother has suffered severe migraines her entire adult life, upwards of 40 years. Been on disability probably the last 15. In the last 10 she was also diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia. What began as white hot poker stabbing pain like shocks that would come sporadically and has been mainly controlled by anti-convulsant or anti-epileptic meds like Tegretol, gabapentin, carbamazepine, is now non-stop pain preventing sleep and the meds don’t touch it. When she tried to ween off meds the pain intensifies even more.

I have done research out the wazoo, she knows I prefer natural things but so far is resistant to supplements, worried about interactions with the other Rxs she can’t just stop. But this last week when we talked she was in tears and told me she’s considering surgical intervention as she doesn’t feel like her quality of life is living anymore. Rather long story short, I’m trying to find something she’s willing to try to break through her hopeless western medicine expectations. I think on earthclinic.com a while back someone mentioned DMSO compresses. I have never used DMSO but picked some up today to try before I really encourage her to use it and give more suggested uses and instructions. For those here who have used it, is there a specific site you yiu use to look for interactions? I know she needs clean skin, but as she’s still on other meds is there any way to know what side effects or interactions there may be? I’d hate for her to try and it backfire and she lose all hope.

Also open to hearing anything else anyone has used successfully to combat TN.

Thank you in advance, Frens. 🙏

PS All issues predate Covid hysteria. She is pureblood and will never get the vaxx.
