I have been trying to get answers to this very question and i posted it here on the forum at some point and got some replies you can find that thread here: > [@ATN severity progression](http://forum.livingwithfacialpain.org/t/atn-severity-progression/8878): > > hi all, While it is agreed that the course of classic TN is one of gradual worsening, i was wondering if anyone knows of the case for TN2/ATN. Is this also known to get worse over time? I have had ATN for a year and over this time the course of the disease has been very random. It disappeared for a while but now its back. It used to be more painful but now it is less painful but is there much more often. Is it completely random or is it like NASDAQ, zigzaggy but overall with an increasing tren… for myself, my ATN was very bad in the beginning, got better, then got worse then got better etc. Overall there it is slowly getting worse but there are periods where it is better.
