Hi Vowel Lady,
I hope you get some answers to what is happening with you. How is your TN doing? Are you in pain or are your meds working for you?
I was pain-free for about four months. I reduced my Amitriptyline from 40mgs to 30mgs two months ago. All was good until last week. It came back, all the familiar patterns. I have gone back to 40mgs and I think it is slowly working.
I wonder about the correlation of your nerve pain. I sometimes think I am sensitive or susceptible to nerve pain. I have problems with nerve pain in my left arm. I am left handed. About four years ago I injured my arm (not sure how or if I even did). I had nerve pain for a good month in my left arm. And that comes back if I use that arm a lot.
My mother and great-grandmother had TN. My mother has MS too. I do not have MS but I can't help but think it is all somehow related.
How is the nerve pain in your foot? Is it really painful?
Keep me updated.

But, I'm having that darn nerve test in my left foot and a little higher Ina week or two. I know it's a little painful. Darn. It's just that I've been through A LOT pain wise in the last year. I'm grateful he is limiting the testing. |
