I was told this. I have type 2 but I also occasionally have type 1 symptoms too.

I was told mine was probably caused by a virus after MRI showed nothing. I was very sick the summer before I felt pain in my lip and jaw. Pain began in Feb. and I was diagnosed in July 2015. Not sure if related but my tonsil grew back when I was sick, same side as TN. When I started acupuncture in Dec. Accpunctrist had me get Shingles shot. She said Shingles virus causes TN because it is in our systems if we had chicken pox.
