Hi, Kimberly! I'm very sorry to be meeting under such circumstances--that being said, Welcome! Thank you for sharing your story. I am amazed at how different each person's story is. Like you, my TN was dx'd early, and by the first doctor I saw. I also see my TN developing as the weeks go by. I have developed my first trigger, stressful situations like arguing with my teen.

I am interested in your dental experience. I need to have a cavity filled in the worst possible area of my mouth. I am so afraid that it will kick my mild TN into high gear. I saw my neuro this week and he said my fear is valid. He kept saying, "Make sure your dentist takes extra precautions," but he didn't seem to know what those precautions might be! And, my dentist has heard of TN, but that's about it.

Any advice???
