Hi. I am a 42 year old man who has recently been diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia after 6 years of sporadic attacks. I have finally got an appointment with the nuerologist in january. After looking into ms I have had many ‘aha’ moments in seeing the other symptoms. Such as feelings of crawling on my skin, occasional blurred vision, vibrating and aching feet and spasms . Some that have been quite frightening like im being squeezed. I have tried to explain my symptoms over the years to my gp but they have all been brushed off. I feel at times like im going mad with it all as it is all so random and the pain differs. I feel almost silly talking about it to people. My question is will the nuerologist understand when I explain the symptoms ? Im guessing they will have a better understanding. How did you find getting diagnosed and was it an arduous journey to find help and get a diagnosis ?
