Does anyone else have these symptoms, very little response in eyes when right cornea touched with cotton wool. Tightness at outer side of right eyelid, feels like I have applied facepack to that area and it has dried in and feeling radiates across face to ear. Severe Right temporal pain and pain on forehead over right eye. tmj painful when chewing. Saw Neurologist who say it is T.N. but everyone else appears to talk about dental like pain. I do not get pain in teeth at all. Think its to do with nerve distribution. Any thoughts anyone.
First time I had TN, it was underneath my right eye. Classic electrical shocks, wind was a trigger, no teeth involvement.
There is no cookie cutter like mould for TN to fit into, we all have it differently.
The ONLY diagnostic tool I see time and again that is valued by your doctor or neuro is your reaction to an anti-convulsant med like Tegretol or Neurontin in the beginning.
If you get relief from these meds initially then they will diagnose you with TN.

The pain is reduced with Tegretol but still get numb tight feeling at eye and across face. Can live with that it is just annoying. It is the wind brushing across my face that triggers pain in temple and forehead. Have just recieved appt of MRI for 13/5 and neuro review for 16/6.
