Hi Sue,

Yes, you can end up with TN on both sides. I have MS which is a demylenating disease, so that is why I am starting to have it on both sides (my body is attacking the myelin sheath around those particular nerves). I think that anyone can get it on both sides though. You should consult with your neurologist, maybe he/she needs to up your dosage of Tegretol to get things back to normal for you.
Sorry if I'm not much help!
Hope you get it under control soon.
Melissa
