Hi @lorimar89,
Welcome to Connect.
Here's some information about trigeminal neuralgia http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/trigeminal-neuralgia/basics/preparing-for-your-appointment/con-20043802. This might help prepare questions for your doctor's appointment, especially if @switchinggranny's hunch is right.
You may also want to connect with @Restless67.
I hope you can rest well tonight. Please let us know what you find out at your appointment tomorrow.

Turns out it's shingles! The electric shock feeling on my scalp is because my rash, now lesions, are on my neck, behind my ear and half way up the back of my scalp. Believe me, I have wondered...could i possibly have two things going on at the same time?? I have to go back to the doctor on Tuesday so they can see the progression and make sure the path it's on is not a danger to my eye. If I'm still having the electric shock feeling on my scalp, I'll address TN once again. I think they dismissed it after they saw the rash on my neck going up into my scalp. Also, I have NO facial pain, and that seems to be the most prominent symptom.
