Hi everyone-

Here are the bullet points-

* Pain started about five months ago.
*Stabbing pain behind the eye followed by dull aches in temple and jaw.
* Visited emergency room, got cat scan, was told by ER doc pain was from new reading glasses.
* Saw Optometrist, no growths behind eye, was cleared
* Visited emergency room again, CAT SCAN was preformed, came back negative, was referred to a neurologist.
*Neurologist diagnosed me with stress headaches, was prescribed tramadol. It did nothing.

*Visited TMJ Specialist Dentist. He diagnosed me with pre-trigeminal neuralgia. He prescribed Tegretol. Tergretol took away 99% of pain.

*Had MRI with and without contrast, all came back clear.

*Saw new neurologist, confirmed diagnosis of pre-trigeminal neuralgia.

* I am am insisting on knowing how I got this.

*Currently awaiting a CTA scan on friday.

*Please help me.
