Thanks for Diana P. for this:
Welcome!
OMG they made mustard gas, that is really bad. Mold made mine worse too! But no doctor here will tell you that!

It’s quite interesting what mold will do. there are so many. I do know when I lived at my other dwelling, the peeps above me had a pipe leak and it molded into the walls. bleach was used… they tried a mix of bleach and amonia which is deadly…
but yes, it worsened my TN no doubt about it.
I had noticed the same issue. I also noticed low fronts and menstral cycles effected my TN. Common denominator (sp?)…swelling. They all put pressure on the trigeminal branches. I had sinus surgery that just about pushed me to suicide. Yes your sinuses are connected but only in so much as when they swell they cause the nerves to react.

For me, I am convinced that my ATN is fully controlled by my sinuses ...I never considered myself as an allergy sufferer but I am now noticing that whenever I have TN episodes which typically last a week or two, I also have blocked sinuses and sinus/ear congestion as well as green phlem which usually indicates infection ...I used to surf in sometimes dirty ocean water, and it was always frigid which gave me a mild ear infection a few times and led to mild surfers-ear which is when your inner-ear bones start to grow spurs in an attempt to protect the inner ear from damage from the cold water/wind.
I have been to ENT specialists and they don't see any connection to my ATN pain, but I just think they are lazy...I know I am right...anyone else????
