Jan64, what did you find out?
I don't think my teeth /facial pain have anything to do with a tooth issue as I have had numerous scans and images done over the years, only to be told they can find nothing wrong. A year later in 2007, I developed neuropathy in my feet and in 2023, I developed neuropathy in my hands. I can't hold my cell phone or touch the mouse on my lap top because my hands react to the EMF coming off these devices. It's so strange! I know I have Epstein Barr and Lyme that is in remission and I think I have some kind of nerve damage, but from what- I'm not sure.

My dentist took x-rays, but he could not find anything wrong. The pain disappeared. I ignored severe pain a few years ago thinking it was just stress related because I tend to clench my jaw, but it really was a cracked back molar which caused me to lose that tooth (vertical crack). My gum graft for implant did not work. Now, I wear a night guard to prevent damaging my teeth in my sleep. I have severe small fiber neuropathy. I am still trying to find the cause. My neuropathy is in hands, arms, feet, legs, and spine. It all happened in about 8 weeks. I could not hold my cell phone very long until I started higher dose of gabapentin. I was tested for Lyme disease (western blot).

I do seem to be experiencing an unusual spike in tooth pain/nerve and root canals. However, in my case, they seem to link it (as well as tinnitus) to neck radiation I had. I understand radiation and bone connection, but not nerve pain; when I ask doctors and dentists if there could be a neuropathy connection with my dental nerves, it has always been that they don’t know enough about neuropathy 😢
I find your comment about “strange” EMF affecting your hands when using your mouse/computer very interesting. I have experienced “strange” and medically unexplained reaction in my legs when sitting on metal stools or chairs in eating establishments, often against tall counters that I’m sure have electric current running through them. Some have metal tubes around the bottom for footrests. Several times I’ve tried to stand only to find my legs to seem paralyzed, once coming close to having to call an ambulance to transport me because I was immobile and pretty much dragged myself with my walker to the bathroom so I could work it out (and grateful I’ve been able to so far). It takes time and a lot of shaking and stretching to get the feeling and movement back in my legs. Once it took a full hour to get my legs back to my normal numbness & tingling level. I’ve always felt it was EMF reaction with my Neuropathy, but I couldn’t get doctors interested or able in trying to see if it was anything to do with my neuropathy. So I just avoid the seats as much as I possibly can, and if I feel there’s no choice or suspect my legs are near too much EMF, I move and shake my legs the entire time and that has seemed to help. Strange, I know, but it’s not my normal PN numbness and tingling - I know it has to have something to do with EMF’s.
