Hello Mindy glad you found us . sorry no one seen or replied to your posts before now. I get the idea you have just been diagnosed with T.N.
You had asked in your other post ...
Could TN be caused by a blocked or irritated nerve coming from my jaw that deviates?
Yes if the trigeminal nerve that has compression that can be the cause of T.N.
you have TMJ. do you wear a mouth guard ? have you had any surgery for T.M.J.?
Are you worried about side affect from the medication ? did you get a rash or something after the shot ? how are you feeling now?
You will be okay just try to relax and let the meds start to work this may take 2 or 3 weeks as the meds need to build up before they start working.
