I would call doc/neuro AND /or write this down for next visit and so you can make sure its t.n. and not o.n. or another issues all together.
I Hope others come by and share cus any info is going to be helpful to all of us. MELINA I hope you keep us posted and let us know how you are feeling today and I pray your feeling low pain and this new pain has left you for the time being.  
Holding you in my thoughts.

I think that what I'm finding is where the pain is being triggered from in that the forehead pain that comes with neck pain and pain at the base of my skull. I have no doubt of the TN dx I have and the pain I have. Just trying to sort through the ON stuff and find a way to tell TN from ON in the overlapping area is confusing.
Now, as to creepy crawly feelings, those are also present more than not. I have noticed that they have progressed along with the condition. It does feel as though something is on my skin. It can also feel as though my muscles are cramping, and the pain takes on a boring quality to it. It is really annoying, distracting, and distressing. The one constant, regardless of the origin of the pain, is that it doesn't cross the centerline of my face or scalp.
Hopefully, I've written this a bit clearer today
