Default Trigeminal Neuralgia???

(I originally posted this in the MS forum, but was kindly directed here to some folks who have more experience w/TN.)

I woke up this morning and my left eye was hurtin' like heck! My mind immediately flew to ON; however, after being awake for a little while longer, it's more like my eyelid. Here's what's going on....

~My eye/eyelid hurts when I blink
~The left side of my face along the top of my cheek bone hurts from my ear up to and stopping at the bridge of my nose.
~When I touch the skin anywhere in that area, the pain increases greatly. (It's almost torture to feel the ear piece of my glasses rub over that skin when I put them on.)
~It hurts the skin when the muscles in that area move.
~The skin on that left side is also burning.

So, whadday'all think? Could this be TN? TIA!
