I was recently diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuritis. I have had 3 separate episodes with pain in my temples (one side at a time) that coincides with pain in my arm on the same side as the painful temple. I did ask the Urgent Care Doctor if the pain in my arm was caused by the Trigeminal Neuritis, and he said probably not, but it could be a referred pain. He has prescribed carBAMazepine. I am hesitant to take the prescribed medication. Tylenol seems to subside the pain when it occurs.

Has anyone else had similar symptoms and the same diagnosis?

Thank you
