Any OHIO sufferers out here? I am new here. The intensity of TN is insane. Mine is constant ache on whole right face down to throat that at only recently went to sharp piercing pain attacks in jaw/teeth along with constant throbbing. My doc thinks its just a headache so I need to find a SPECIALIST in my area of mid to northern OHIO. This seem to all start after having only tooth sensitivities in addition to sinus problems and headache on rt side. Allegic to gabepentin.Now using sumatriptan but not much help, i use orajel constantly for mild topical relief and for some reason just swishing water in my mouth lowers pain a notch or two. I am hoping this is a seasonal thing and not forever. Again if anyone knows of great doc in my area it would be greatly appreciated. I prefer no surgeons as im not ready for that. I am grateful for this sight as its nice to know others understand my pain. Thank you.
I am being treated by a Headache specialist which includes TN) at the Main campus of the Cleveland Clinic. I did have my MVD there, which did help reduce the intensity of the pain, but still on meds. His name is Stewart Tepper, and understanding TN. it is tough to get an appointment quickly, but you do what to meet with a TN specialist,
