Allo all…guess who
I know Trigeminal Neuralgia is common so wondering about others experiences of this I had sudden onset of facial pain last night. Its on side where most of my altered sensations are. It felt like someone had punched me on the cheek and there was some temple pain and bit of pain at top teeth just under the cheek It was throbbing for hours rather than shooting ot stabbing. I would think (ordinarily) it would align with sinus or migraine…but have no other sinus symptoms
. The pain was bit burny at points but as i say altered sensations are mainly that side. So wondering if it is a change in those sensations to develop pain with tingling. Or if it sounds like TN. Any description of that seems horrific and people seem in no doubt. Pain came back just now right under eye where glasses would sit and has developed to face and temples too
It responded to paracetamol for about an hour, in respect of taking edge of but has come back.
However, in the last hour got horrific shooting pains in inner ear, which have left it feeling bit earachy and burning. I dont want to start anti seizure meds without having some kind of expertise involved in all of this, but at same time am heartily fed up with all of this
For 5 weeks now i have had circular presentation ebb and flow of same symptoms and now becoming increasingly despondent and fed up, Moreso as i know from reading and others experience that progressing anything takes forever. The thought of enduring ‘this’ for months makes me want to go to bed and not get up
Sorry for the negativity, just struggling a bit just now …
