I really appreciate your responses to my questions and even more the kind words. I have been so afraid since I researched TN and found out what it was. Now I know I have other people to talk to about it. I had 3 root canals on upper right side last year and still had dull ache. Went to my now new dentist and he said I had TN that there was nothing wrong with my teeth. Went back to primary doctor today as the dosage of Lyrica was not working. She upped it to 150 mgs. twice a day and also gave me Ultram. I see the neurologist on the 20th. I hope I am posting this correctly to the 2 people that were kind enough to answer my previous post.
