Hi Antony. sorry you are dealing with pain . I would say before you start thinking and worrying about everything...do as you stated wait for a rx of what is really the issue . It may not even be TN at all so a wise decision you have made to wait and see what other tests and doctors say. I would try best to see a neuro doc they would be the best to rule it T.N. or face pain of some type. . we have a T.N. forum here if you want to visit it at some point later if you find you want to read around. Most times meds control TN so dont be discouraged. here is the link to the T.N. forum http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum26.html welcome to Neurotalk and if I can help please feel free to post . sending good energy your way. PEACE BMW
