I get the ear pain as well and went many years to drs and ENT specialists for my "ear problems" before finally someone guessing it may be TN.

Stress plays a big role in this condition and triggers pain for me. Since blood vessels are usually the culprit its easy to understand, at least for me. I wasn't diagnosed for a long time and it was my ENT who finally figured this out and suggested it to my PCP. If you haven't already got the book "Striking Back" you may want to check it out. Its available through the TNA website and it seems as though someone mentioned getting it through Amazon too. Check out the stickies at the top of the thread for a link to the TNA if your not already familiar with them. Take care
