I seem to have a lot of crawling sensations and itching where I experience paing from my TN. When I talked about it to my Neurologist, he looked at me as if he hadn't heard of that before. I should have asked him about it, but my brain isn't working that quickly these days. So my question is, do any of you experience this? I am taking Percocet and thought it could be from that, but wouldn't I have these symptoms on other parts of my body? I just really want to be certain I have been diagnosed correctly. I am on 500 mg of Tegretol 2x/day and am still having pain and these symptoms many many times a day. Of course, the intensity of the pain has lessened greatly and I wonder if these other symptoms are what happens when the Tegretol lessens the intensity of pain. Unfortunately, my doctor doesn't give me a lot of information. I want to be sure I am heading in the right direction, if there is one.

Thank you for your help.
