Hi Tammy and fellow sufferers. I have now been diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia. The pain is hideous. Tingling is something that would normally be described as annoying. Not with this baby. The tingling can be painful or create an intense itch that can't be scratched because the side of your face is numb. I've woken up tearing my face. My inner lip is also numb and swollen and if I eat (mushy foods) I bite into my lip and cheek. I am to be put on some different medication, I have to wait 2 weeks, then it can take up to 3 weeks to kick in. I'll let you know the name and if it helps. I'm used to pain, had 2 back surgeries including spinal fusion. the back pain is a walk in the park compared to this.
