Hi,
Firstly i'm glad i've found this site - it looks like a really great collection of people!
Secondly i wonder if anyone could answer my question - I'm now constantly worried about it!
I went to the neurologist for what seems to be TN (worrying enough- i've had it for about a year now) but now i read on the internet that anyone with TN who is under 30/40 is likely to have MS!!
Is this true?? Does anyone know?
Thank you in advance for all your help

Hi 20 something,
My son is 10 years old, he has TN, and does not have MS. I don't know the statistics on this; others on this site are very knowledgeable and will probably know, but it is not a definite thing! They will probably have you get an MRI to look for MS, but it is NOT a given. Hang in there! Laurin
Hi there. I was worried about this as well.
It's just a statistic.
You will meet plenty of people on this site who are in their 20's, like myself,
and do not have MS. Try to take it one day at a time, and don't worry about things
until you have to! I know, easier said than done. But try!

I was 32 at the onset of my TN. I have TN1. I do not have MS.
Have you gotten a MRI done? A MRI would show lesions on the brain. I have a friend who has MS and she kept falling down and the MRI confirmed the brain lesions. I think there are other test but no doctor has every supsected me of having MS as well.
I am 34 and have TN and I do not have MS. I have been doing research online about this and I think sometimes that doing research online makes me paranoid that something else could be wrong too. I am glad I found this site! It is so nice to be able to find people that can understand what we are going through.
I have half convinced that I could have MS when I did my MRI. I was scared. In some ways, I put off my MRI b/c I didn't want to know.
Hi, I was under 30 when I was diagnosed and I do not have MS.
Good Morning! I know that fear, but try not to worry yourself, many of us under 30/40 do not have MS. I am 31 and do not have MS. I’ll be thinking of you and hoping you have a nice relaxing weekend. Take care,
I’m 18, I have TN and I don’t have MS. Statistics are just numbers, don’t let them worry you. Just take it nice and slow and always stay positive.
I got TN when I was 35 and also, I don't have MS.
I went through a battery of tests that included blood test, MRI and a Spinal tap.
Good luck on your treatment and be well,
Carolina
