"with an undercurrent of constant ache in my cheek and jaw bones. "

I get that a lot with my atypical, but it isn't preceeded by electric shocks. Its funny how this condition presents differently with everyone and how our experiences vary. Some of my first flare ups were constant pain which would fluxuate and then after a four month bout of the constant, I took a drink and the classic lightening bolt shot right through my jaw. At least after it subsided, the constant pain eased up.
