Hi
After 8 months of severe pain I have been diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia. I would love to have some support and someone to chat with about symptoms etc. Sadly I am still at that stage where I believe something serious must be wrong for all of this pain to be happening. I think my Dentist is in despair with me. Again, I have insisted I have an x-ray to rule out any dental problems. Is it normal to believe that you have severe toothache and if you have all your teeth out then the pain will go away.
The pain can be horrendous and I am struggling to look after 3 year old twins. I have been given mediation but it is still early stages and trial and error as to what is going to suit me.
I have pain in my face, into the eye, gums feel swollen (although the Dentist has assured me they are not), the gums burn and the teeth are so sensitive. I am now going pain to the ear and what feels like a lump in my throat.
I look forward to hearing from you.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
