hi kathy, the people here are so understanding, and knowledgable, that its hard to add to their posts, but if you follow these posts back far enough you'll find references to surgical procedures, that have been succesful. the're not common, but they have been done. i think they cut or somehow destroy the nerves on the affected side of the face, leaving it numb, including the eye ball. this is probably considered radical treatment, but much less radical than suicide! why not make a deal that if your husband continues to seek treatment,and finds no relief, you'll at least explore a surgical solution. do anything but let him give up. i would find a neurologist that is more sympathetic to his pain.
