Trigeminal Neuralgia (nne)

[Guest guest]

Are your teeth okay, nne? Is your pain on one side, or both? TN normally hits one side of the face but in MS it is more common to have bilateral TN-- so the pain can be on one side and then switch to the other side and back again. I hope your pain never comes back, nne!hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

Can anyone get Trigeminal Neuralgia? Does anyone know if this is connected to fibromyalgia as well as MS? I have exactly what you are describing. It can hurt for a short time and then go away for a few hours. no set time for it to happen. it has been ok now for 2 days. But the last time it happened it bothered me for over a week. Prayers you feel better soon.HugsnneTo the world you might be one person, but to one person you just might be the world""May the Lord Bless you and keep you,May the Lord Make his face shine upon you, and give you Peace...Forever"Breast Cancer Patients Soul Mates for Lifehttp://breastcancerpatientssoulmatesforlife.bravehost.com/ Anxiety Depression and Breast Cancerhttp://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/AnxietyDepressionandBreastCancerAngel Feather Loomerwww.angelfeatherloomer.blogspot.comThe Cancer Clubwww.cancerclub.com> Re: LDN....Re: … Please refresh my memory> > > > Sharon,> > I'm ta betting... since I haven't checked into LDN
