Default thank you -- and a question

Thanks for responding!
You're right--I have been around the block with meds. Nothing has helped.

The first neuro I saw literally threw up her hands and said she couldn't help me. The second neuro heard about the facial pain and said I had TN, and then pretty much tossed me over to the surgeon.

Here's my dilemma: I have had migraines on the left side of my head for decades. Then I started having what I thought were cluster headaches--an intense burning behind my right eye. Then the facial pain started--I don't need to describe THAT. The problem is that the migraine is now 24/7, the eye pain is becoming more frequent and longer-lasting. It seems that I have a triple thing happening. The neuro who diagnosed the TN only addressed one part of it before shipping me off.

I guess my question is: Does anyone have suggestions for how to approach the docs? I don't seem to be getting heard.
