Thank you
Hello Shaunna, and welcome to Neurotalk

Trigeminal Neuralgia is a battle that I too have faced for a long time with my MS. It was my 'onset' symptom as far as I can tell.

Do you believe the heat sensation is coming from the medication? I'm not familiar with that drug. I ask because while I have T.N., I also experience burning in my head (left side primarily - also where I have the T.N. attacks, except when I have 'atypical' T.N. attacks that are less severe and affect both sides of the head), and burning in my mouth.

I have to take 2 medications, one to control the burning in the skull/head, the other to help control the burning in the mouth.
