I can certainly relate to your painful episode.

I had an attack of Trigeminal Neuralgia about two years ago and it was the most painful thing I have EVER experienced.....and I have had 2 babies!!

The worst thing was not knowing how long it was going to last. Like you, I couldn't eat, drink, brush my teeth or even blink without igniting severe pain. I pretty much sat perfectly still for hours afraid that if I moved it would trigger the pain again.

I am taking Trileptal and that seems to have stopped all the pain. I am almost OCD about that particular med......I take it religiously and will NOT be without it.

I hope the med you're taking works well for you. I know the anxiety this pain can cause. Hoping you feel better soon.
