I don't think it usually becomes constant. BUT while I was being diagnosed when I first got TN, before I actually got put on medication, my pain did become constant. Since then, even when the pain has returned, it has never been constant, perhaps because I get on medication fast and have only breakthrough "zaps" as I call them.

My pain has been constant since it began in late October.

Are you taking seeing a neurogist? Taking any medication?

Have seen a neurolagist mostly about other nerve problems disability.I have
been suffering from TN on and off for 12 or more years But they have not looked at my face just pushed pills at me They have never looked for a cause. Have been perscribed Tegratol but I am scared of taking it because of side effects like nerve damage over time and breathing problems. My nerves are pretty screwed any way cant afford for them to get any worse. And lungs or small I only have 34% use of them. I'm just a pain. xx

I never liked the side effects of Tegretol, but hadn't read of nerve damage or breathing problems associated with it. It is supposedly the most effective medication for TN, at least that is what my neurologist says.
