sourcebook for all info trigeminal neuralgia from medical perspective, 2007-02-17
excellent book, regularly updated on the medical and surgical therapies available for those who suffer from this horrendous pain.
For a personl perspective I recommend Carol Jay Levy's A PAINED LIFE, a chronic pain journey.

A voice of reason and options emerges, 2006-10-01
When I was first diagnosed with TN, I was confused by a deluge of information. Weigel gently guides the reader through well-presented discussion of the neurological disorder and its treatments, both medical and alternative. A good choice for anyone who has or knows someone with trigeminal neuralgia.

Lifesaver, 2005-10-04
This book took me to Dr. Casey in Pgh and saved my life. It explained there were other alternatives than to live with the terrible pain. I have bought 4 copies of this book and have given it to people that are dealing with TN, as well as loaned out my copy. I feel the author knows how much help he has been as he also suffers from the condition.

Open minded expert advice, 2005-09-08
As a chiropractor I was fascinated at the wide array of treatments explored for this debilitating condition. The chapter on upper cervical chiropractic vindicated what many chiropractors have found with patients who respond to this specialty form of chiropractic. After actually meeting him in Australia, I was amazed to discover that Dr Casey is one of the most prominent neurosurgical specialists, carrying out thousands of successful surgeries on TN sufferers. A must for sufferers and supportive network members, who are looking for "whatever works" and not just what your average doctor might believe.

New layman's book on world's most painful disease, 2005-05-03
Patients with TN face the challenges of finding reliable information and figuring out which of many medications, surgical procedures and alternative therapies are likely to eradicate or relieve their pain. The neurosurgeon(Casey)and patient(weigel) provide up-to-date guidence for patients and their families. This book completed at the end of 2004 is twice the old edition...a totally new book filled with real life patient experiences,therapies, practical illustrations...Outstanding, Understandable, Guide to Resources.
