Hi dmplaura,

Try to find some muscle relaxants as they usually help (a bit) by TN. Otherwise you have to find out, how is with your Ganglion Gasseri (on the head) what is in most cases the cause for typical TN.

You should make Ultra Scan or MRI of your head. Maybe they find there some blood vessel pressing on the nerve. I have one but in my case is very dangerous to do anything with that blood vessel. They have found it with MRI of my head.

Hope to help you a bit.
