My neurologist has not even admitted to recognizing that I have Trigeminal Neuralgia at all...even though my dentist who is a dental specialist specifically in the area of dental and cranial pain told me I have TN after my EMGs.
So it's getting the neuro to admit that TN is part of my MS first, and then proceeding from there. I didn't want TN, but I believe it is part of the puzzle for sure.
Woke up today, was fine.. for about 10 minutes, then the head pain began to start up again, so I took 2 extra str tylenol 1's with codeine, and 1 .5 mg tablet of Clonazepam, and that got the burning in check for now.
Yesterday I tried the Aleve 2 220mg (think they are?) tablets and Clonazepam, and that seemed to work decently, but I honestly believe the Tylenol with codeine works better than anything OTC wise (thankfully the pharmacy will liberally sell me tylenol with codeine... because it really does make a difference with this pain compared with regular tylenol).
If the burning pain returns yet again tomorrow... it will be Advil extra strength liquidgels and Clonazepam test.
When I had tylenol 3's paired with Clonazepam that totally kept things in check pain wise, but I know I can't be relying on that forever either.
