Can I ask what mg they started you out on ? The dr can steadily raise the mg until it helps or you have side effects that are difficult to handle.

Waiting for a test or test results can drive a sane person crazy ! Hopefully he can get your MRI scheduled soon so you can rule out MS

We're here for you so please keep us posted.

Hi

Thanks for messages of support I don't normally get ill so wasn't sure if I was just being a wimp !! He has started me on 100mg three times a day but as yet no improvement :-( I have blood tests tomorrow and then revisit the dr a week later he said he won't increase my dose until blood results howecer if he had the pain I'm bloody sure he'd hurry up about it!

On a side note I have a cyst on the back of my neck below my ear right side never caused me a problem and it was checked out when I first found it about 10years ago however since this whole TN thing it's hurting too and seems to be bigger?? Possibly linked?? Going to ask the nurse tomorrow but there a bit funny about doing more than one thing at an appointment but I only he want her to look at it and tell me if I need to see dr sooner so fingers crossed shes in a good mood ;-)

Thanks
