ahhh, bummer, Jen!

TN stinks.

for me, it manifests as a very SHARP sudden ice-pick pain, deep in my ear.

mostly my right, and sometimes my left ear.

and a few times, it's hit my face, below the right cheekbone.

here's a good description:

Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN), also known as tic douloureux, is an acute, piercing, electric shock-like pain in the those regions of the face served by the Trigeminal (5th) Cranial Nerve (CN V). CN V serves three areas of the face the forehead and eye, the cheek and the jaw. TN can affect some or all of these areas usually on one side of the face although more rarely (in about 5% of cases) it is bilateral. Episodes of TN can last anything from a few seconds to a few minutes or very occasionally longer and can be triggered by a number of factors including laughing, chewing, brushing the teeth, talking, wind on the face or even touching the face.

yep, guess I'm a RARE bird? 'cause I get it on both sides...

but my eyes have never been affected by this, my LEAST favorite MS sx.
