. . . see now on this one you would have gotten off scott-free, cause I don't know anything about the facial pain you describe.

There's TN, but I don't really know if that's how it effects us.

http://www.mult-sclerosis.org/trigeminalneuralgia.html

My pain, that turned out to be TMJ (thought was TN), was jaw pain from clenching my teeth mostly. This happened because of some medication I was on and I had to get a guard for my teeth when I slept. The pain (clenching, ear ringing, etc.) let up as soon as I went off that medication though.

The only other pain I've had in the face was related to my teeth or sinuses. The numbness I had (mouth, lips, tongue, throat) did not cause any pain.

So, I don't know the answer to whether this is MS-related or not . . . but would say that is not likely neuropathy anyway.
