I'm glad that you have an appointment so quickly. Are you in the US?

I am in Canada. Here we have "free" medical care and have to wait to see specialists sometimes. I was diagnosed, had an MRI and started medication in September but have to wait a couple more months to see a neuro. So I don't have any advice there!

The most important thing is medication. Most of the meds take time to increase dosages and start working so you REALLY don't want to wait on that. Some peoples' TN can really escalate so don't take any chances. The second most important thing is the MRI.

I sent you a private message too

What do you think I should expect to happen during the first visit? Will it be more than just an exam?

I really hope he doesn't have to press down on the nerve or anything during the exam. The thought of that is giving me anxiety!
