i thought i was type 1 but i am not sure any more. i have attacks that last up to anything from 24 hours to a week and then i might have a break for as long as three months! which one am i????
From my personal experience my NS advised not to focus on worrying about which type you are, I had 24/7 pain to start with which lasted months but it wasn’t electric shocks (although these did come later) but was the most severe tooth ache in every tooth in my top and bottom teeth on my left side as well as pain in my jaw, cheek bone and head. Any type of TN you can get periods of remission, but it is said that as TN is a progressive disorder the remission periods will decrease and the pain can increase over time.
If you haven’t already done so my advice would be to get an MRI done which is read by a TN NS specialist and ask them to advise further re: possible treatments.
