I am very familiar of the awful pain caused by the fifth nerve going haywired. I have several crainial nerves that have gone the same path as well in fact. This has been a summer ruined by teeth in fact. Hubby having to have a root canal and since he has eart problems already he had to take sso many antiobiotics that all his good bugs were killed. He is not back to normal yet.
It is my daughter having a lower jaw tooth pulled that is worrying me most. She has a throbbing like pain and dentist say it is not a dry socket,, finnaly suggeating it might be TMJ. All this just made me think back to my long struggle to finally have my own problems diagnosed. It was in the early 90's, I had some kind of dentist appointment just before lunch and I did not get any answers at that visit either.
I had a lunch planned before my regular doctor visit that was scheduled for later. I remember that first strike as if it were yesterday. Since it was fresh on my mind I mentioned it to my regular physician. He suggested what he thought it was and he was correct. I am so hoping my daughter is not going to be the same. She is approaching her forties in a few years. I do remember that I had so many different weird problems all before my female problems became better after (blush) change of life, cluster headaches, miagraines etc. My menieres has stayed with me as well.
I am usually on the Emtional Support forum in fact since my pains are so varied and I know it won't be long before those that suffer from TN will fill the forum with statements like mine and newcomers with questions of their own.
