Thanks 2mchpn for the warm welcome.

My CT scan showed up only mild sinusitis, so GP is pretty sure it is TN (bummer). Nobody said I was too young, I guess 48 next month is considered close to 50, some days I certainly feel it.

I have a specialist appointment next Wednesday, they were really nice about it and gave me an emergency spot once I said that TN was suspected as their first usual appointment wasn't until April.

The specialist I am seeing is a specialist in Oral Medicine specialising in facial pain so not a neurologist or an oral surgeon. Not sure how these specialties work. I will see what he has to say. As I am pretty much pain free at the moment I thought I would explore different avenues before seeing the neurologist and starting on meds. No doubt I will have a heap more questions after it.

What did we all do before the internet? I would be feeling a whole heap worse at the moment if I hadn't been able to read as much as I have and know that there is this place I can ask people who know and understand what I am going through.

By the way I am in Melbourne Australia, hence my seemingly weird sign on times and weird spelling.
