Hi

Scared is a normal reaction to bad news, when it's medical.

There's so many people here who have been through those moments, we do understand. It will be ok :grouphug:

There's lots of info here. try the "SEARCH" feature. You will be amazed at the info NT has about TN.

Hope you find some peace today.

You had a cat scan and MRI. Now you need to hear from doctor. Most I know thought Tumor (big fear!!!) at beginning, my self included before my DX of MS. Of course my doctor was gone on vacation, it was a llloooonnnnng wait. This too shall end. Wait to hear what doctor says. Worry does you no good. "Breathe" my sister in law told me.

hi mike and welcome to NT,

i agree with kicker. i would tend to believe the tests since they seem to have been comprehensive. however, i'd make an appt with your dr and be honest. talk about your fear and why you feel that way. then let him explain to you what the testing showed and why.

try to take someone with you for a 2nd set of ears.

i'm wishing you well.

Hi Mike, I am new to this site though your letter caught my eye. Have had Trigeminal Neuralgia for 20yrs. Mine started early, only 30 yrs old and they thought it was a brain tumor, then since mine is on the left side they thought is was my heart, then lupis and on and on. Last week I had such a migraine I really thought a blood vessel was going to pop. This awful pain I believe it plays tricks on the brain. Please, do not panic. TN is very painfull and that nerve has so many branches.

Hope you have a beautiful day ~ Brenda1960

Wonderful to have you with us!
