Stopping in again. I haven't forgot you folks
I do feel that TN is part of my course of MS. That my initial 'symptom' was TN.
I've never been 'officially' diagnosed with TN, but I certainly experienced what could only be explained as TN attacks with headache/pain a few years ago.
The facial pain, thankfully, is now being controlled with Clonazepam. A benefit, because I began taking Clonazepam for burning mouth syndrome (aren't I full of fun?). I fully ditched Amitriptyline, because I experienced a bunch of side effects on it, and now it's only Clonazepam I take. I can't take anti convulsants I don't believe... I reacted horribly to Carbamazepine and Neurontin so far.
Seems my MS is 100% sensory/vision. That's a GOOD thing, as the outlook for purely sensory/vision is seen to be 'milder' than those who experience other symptoms (motor and cognitive, for example).
I do hope all you folks are doing well here!
