DanielleP Welcome to NeuroTalk and the T.N. forum sorry it is over such pain but we are glad your here.I also applogize for not seeing your post sooner.
I have talked with many t.n. people and yes some do get the pains of T.N. in their head. there is 3 branches one branch above the eys ...one below the eye and the third goes to lower jaw. so depending on which branch or branches are affected the pain will be in diffrent areas. many have bilateral..on both side. there is also O.N. and if ya give me a second i will post the link to that forum we have here.
