Thank you so much. How long have you had tn2. Please don't get affected me asking you a lot just figured out what I have. It seams like it progresses very quickly. Do you have ringing in your ears? I am very scared that is why I am asking you a bunch of questions.

Hello I’m 44 year old female. I’ve had migraines everyday since June of this year. Went to the er because i thought it was my colloid cyst on my left side. They did X-ray witch showed a small growth. They would send me home with migraine meds nothing worked. Finally went to my dr September 16. Told him migraines everyday face swollen since August 11 everyday. He put a referral in for me with a neurologist waiting for them to call me. He gave Divalproex dr 250 mg it kinda helps with the pain with about 25%. He seems to think I have trigemial neuralgia. I’ve had to put a leave of absence in at work cause my head hurts so bad. Wondering if I caught it in time.

My TN type 2 began about 4 years ago with pressure pain on my right ear. Two years ago it expanded to the right side of my face including ear, nose and eye as well as head. Persistent pressure and numbness at this time. Ordinarily, Lyrica works along with avoidance of groups. It is activated by wind, touching, etc MRIs of brain indicate all is normal.

Hi. No I don't having ringing in my ears. I think TN is different for everyone try not to worry mine has come and gone for periods of time over 12 years.
Iv had it 12 years. Im just trying to find out if anyone knows off different treatments as this time it's lasting longer and its the right side of the face that's sensitive to touch or movement. Sitting completely still the pain goes.
