I meant an ENT physician. I hope so , I find myself very afraid to make any moves that could cause it to start back.

I know this advice is easier to say than do, but try not to worry about it. There are meds and there are surgeries and some folks have times when it goes away.
It helps to have a plan of what steps to take if it gets worse, but don't assume the worst.

Thank you,i went to a neurologist today. 150.00 up front. He wants to do lumbar. Puncture, MRI of c spine , ncv and extensive lab work,before he will even talk about trying something. I have no health insurance and can not. Do this. He said I was wasting his time.

I made an appt with my old primary care doc for tomorrow. Already have run out of money.

Hmmm. Sorry this is so difficult. All my doc needed years ago was an MRI to rule out a tumor. I can understand a doc wanting to run a few tests, but I find it rather appalling that he would tell you (a patient who is suffering!) that you are wasting his time! That is terrible! I hope your primary care doc can help. A neurologist is best at treating this, but I was treated for several years at the beginning by my internist.

I hope you can find a way to get some health insurance. It is very likely that you will need ongoing treatment if you have TN! Fortunely now it doesn't matter that you have a preexisting condition.
