Hello Rhonda. Nice to hear from you!

Actually, this doesn't sound odd at all. When I get into a state of facial burning pain and the lightning bolts, I get in the bathtub (really hot water) and something about the heat reduces the intensity of the condition/pain. Odd huh? MS'ers are supposed to hate heat!

I see my neuro Monday thankfully, and I'm going to tell him simply "Ok so you found MS in March, please don't stop there, because I think there's more going on in my body than simply MS". TN as I say was already pointed out by my dentist. I have the burning mouth crud, but that in itself MAY be Lupus (which my mother has). I just fear they stopped at MS and decided "That's the cause of your pain, MS". And will just leave it at that. Ugh!

Hang in there folks, I feel for you.
