I went in for a routine cleaning and check-up yesterday. All I kept thinking was, "Please, no cavities on the upper left side." Anywhere else would have been better. Well, as my luck would have it, I have one cavity. Want to guess where?

While one week of Neurotin has already made a difference, I do still feel some aches and pains, so I know the TN is still active. I still have to double my dose, then triple it, but I can't do those increases during the week because I have kids to shuttle to and from school.

Anyway, I'm afraid that the numbing shot could trigger a bad episode, whereas, I've had only mild pain so far. I'm holding off on the filling until I see my neuro. Are my fears valid? If so, is there something my neuro can do to protect me?
