Look into this also I'm going to go private
I have read that Gamma Knife radiosurgery (I think this is what you mean) has helped many people. I have also read that this is for people with typical TN, not with atypical TN like I have.

The classic/typical presentation of TN (type 1) is characterized by episodes of sudden, explosive severe pain along the trigeminal nerve, with periods of pain-free remission between attacks. The atypical form of TN (type 2) presents with the paroxysmal pain of classic TN, but with the addition of a constant pain that fluctuates from a dull aching to an excruciating roar.
