Has anyone been diagnosed with atypical neuralgia / tigeminal nerve pain? My symptoms don't fit the classical ones. I have constant and unrelenting pain mainly in my eyes and forehead area. The pain is not the sharp and shooting type that I have read about with TN. Rather it is a dull, aching, throbbing, burning sensation. The other thing is that it is not on one side of my face but both.

I have not been formally diagnosed. I seem to have the doctors stumped. This is what my neurologist thinks but it is not a formal diagnosis.
