What is your TN pain pattern?

My TN just started having a new pain pattern. Previously I would get intermittent spikes of TN all day. Each spike was separate from the next but sometimes I'd get 5 jabs in quick succession then a pause.

Now, my TN kicks off into these blocks of TN that last an hour and a half. During that 90 minute timeframe, the TN stabs, then pauses, then stabs then pauses. This goes on the entire 90 minutes. If I swallow or move my jaw, I'll get an additional stab. At the end of the 90 minutes (average) all of the TN pain stops. However, the same series can kick off later in the day with up to 4 per day on avg.

Does anyone else have this pain pattern?

I started with intermittent deep ear pain and it spread and became more constant. So not your pattern, but nonetheless a pattern I can identify. It’s a really good idea to keep a written log of your pain periods.
