My experience of TN

Amazing sudden pain in 2014 that lasted six straight weeks in temple and face on left side of face. When I went for the follow up visit the Doctor did not recognize me from the first visit because the pain distorted my looks so much. Used carbamazepine on a as needed basis for two years. More recently used on a daily basis then taken off of med because of side effects. At the moment at times have small amount of pain. Take E. S. Tylenol for it. Have follow up visit August 12th.
