Oh no - it was you that posted about the nerves sprouting?! That's typical me, sorry to repeat (and explain incorrectly) what you already knew! Yeah I hear you about having a transplant! Or less drastic, just send the TN on a permanent vacation somewhere.
Wishing you a pain-free weekend!
Hey Obsidian, to change the subject a bit, I just read your response to Adele's earlier topic of depression after a TN diagnosis and I just wanted to tell you I was very touched by what u wrote. I could relate to a lot of what you said... You Rock!!!!

Thanks so much Cleo. I always learn so much from you. and this is a great diagram that is very very detailed. So, this is shedding light on some stuff that I was hoping was not true... My original nerve damage came after an upper molar extraction on the left side and I had pain and numbness on that left side... 6 months later I had, what should have been a routine cavity filling on the opposite side right upper molar, but I didn't know the dentist and he was straight out of dental school and he wasn't that good...5 days later I am having electric shocks,, etc on the right side... So, could I have gotten nerve damage twice in one year by two separate ding dong %$%$# dentists and can one actually get nerve damage from a cavity being filled??? I think I know the answer.. I had not read your articles that you posted yet how nerve damage can happen by just to much articaine they put in that shot and that in and off itself can be toxic to the nerve and damage it or coupled with a bruising of the nerve because the shot hit the nerve... I did , like an idiot ask for two shots thinking one was not enough... and I had two shots when I had the left upper molar nerve damage... so it sounds like as bad of symptoms as you had and still have to some extent, they were all on one side of your face... correct?? thanks so much... Elvera
Thanks Cleo!! Hope you have a good night and thanks again for all your help and clarification, you should have an honorary dental and neurologist degree, lol
Hey there Scared & Angry Gal,
Thanks! It's been such a relief to find others that understand. And I love reading your thoughts. You still have a sense of humor (in spite of TN), it runs through what you write and puts a smile on my face :) You gotta vent sometimes, for me this is a good place. I don't talk much these days because it triggers the beast so I keep a journal and post here where there is always support. (I used to be a chatterbox so my husband gets a lot more peace and quiet!). Keep us posted on what happens with these shocks you've been having - I truly hope they just fade away. Hugs, Obsidian
