Talk:Atypical trigeminal neuralgia

note
Im not sure I get this but I was very surprised that the external link to the only book about living with and fighting against atypical facial pain, atypical trigeminal neuralgia, and trigeminal neuralgia was removed as being 'self-promoting." I guess someone else needs to do the edit so that readers of this page can find out first hand what the experience is like.  The edit included the information that the booklink was specifically about the disorder named in the wiki subject line.  The link was completely relevant to the article and an appropriate supplement to it. 76.124.132.233 (talk) 01:06, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

A reader of this article wrote me to tell me she added the external link, A PAINED LIFE a chronic pain journey because she felt reading about the experience from a patient's perspective was an important adjunct to the article. For some reason the link is gone again. I have to wonder why this link is unacceptable to WIKI, or someone who hads edited the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.124.132.233 (talk) 22:00, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Dental procedures and epinephrine as a cause
About dental procedures as a cause of atypical trigeminal neuralgia,in the book Striking back The trigeminal neuralgia and face pain handbook it is written:"Dr Gremillion says that the local anesthetics that dentists use to numb an area before fixing a cavity can even act as a trigger. He says these are mild "neurotoxins" - agents that irritate nerves. Most of the short-acting anesthetics also contain epinephrine,he adds. Epinephrine is a vessel-constricting chemical that's used to prolong the numbing effect,but it also can trigger nerve pain." could this be added to the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.162.13.72 (talk) 23:06, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Epinephrine (aka adrenaline) is a naturally produced hormone in the body, I don't think it is a neurotoxin. Please link the source here so others can assess whether it meets WP:MEDRS and can be used to source content in the article. Lesion  ( talk ) 18:17, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I've heard of direct mechanical trauma to nerves during dental injections, rarely causing prolonged or even permanent altered sensation or numbness...sometimes the adrenaline is avoided in an extremity (ear, nose fingers, toes etc) to avoid completely cutting off the blood supply and ischemia, or because the adrenaline might be injected into a blood vessel accidentally, and this can be dangerous in persons with e.g. certain heart conditions.
