Well, it's kinda still on topic, because I know my ATN is due to my MS, but I know my main trigger for an ATN relapse (or brief episodes with classic TN) is completely hormone related.

Another thread asking an MS/hormone question so not to steer this one off the main focal point.

Important to note that TN/ATN are considered a symptom that can be caused by MS, so it's one that if it changes in intensity or duration of episodes, keep a journal and let your neuro know. I blog and keep a watch on how long mine goes, and what the triggers are (as I try to do with other symptoms).
