what type of pain med are you on?? you mention biotics and steroids . over the counter pain meds wont do much for t.n. or atypical t.n. . . etc . My neuro doc I had roberto martinez passed away a couple years ago from brain tumor . but I got most help from pain specialist anyhow. even now if i have any issues with my pns a neuro will not see me .
have you been to Gainesville /shands hosp?? it has been a heck of ALONG time since I have been to a neuro but when i went the neuro had me ink in the area on pic of a face/head where the pain was and on a scale of 1 to 10 ten being very high ... describe your pain ... when did it start ... questions like that and then the neuro will probably put you on a different type of med then what you have been on. sometime warm compress help . I wouldnt wait for this doc to eventually send you to a neuro I would go now . do you need some doc names or places in or near florida??? let me know I will gladly share . sending low pain and
praying for a quick speedy way to the right doc and meds to help relieve the ugly pain you are living with.
I will check back later tonight. I
f anyone else thats been to neuro more recent then 10 years ago ... can share what it was like their first time that would be much appreciated and helpful. 
PEACE

p.s. let me know if you want docs and places in or near Fla. bbl
