Default I need to see a pain specialist.
And TERRIBLY.

I know I have TMJ. I know I have Trigeminal Neuralgia (bilateral) and I know I have a ton of sensory issues with MS. Oh, and a history of migraine.

Has anyone had any experience with a pain specialist? Good or bad experiences? Does one generally require a referral?

As I sit here tonight, I have numbness/tingling in my tongue, altered sense of taste (you know what it tastes like? I keep tasting this perdoxyl or w/e mouthwash I purchased for bacteria of the mouth.. but I haven't used it in 2 weeks!!) my jaws are both aching and I have burning cheeks/face/head .

Sadly, today was one of those days I took Clonazepam and experienced a paradoxical reaction to it.
