Have you ever tried craniosacral therapy for trigeminal neuralgia? It is supposedly a very successful therapy for this condition. I would certainly try it. TN is so painful, and craniosacral so gentle, yet effective.
There are many medications that can damage your eyes. Check with your doctor to see if a med. you're taking is possibly causing the problem.
I read that vitamin C can reduce IOP. Vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, enzymes - all can be severely depleted after even a short time on certain medicines.
There is a website (probably many now) that shows you specifically which nutrients are stripped from your body by each listed medication. I am trying to find it again, for my mother.
I too, am sorry that you are dealing with severe pain. I hope you are getting it under control by now.

This is outside of my area of expertise, unfortunately, but I can point you in the direction of medical journal articles that DO mention the autonomic nervous system in conjunction with intra-ocular pressure. Perhaps the fact that so many peer reviewed medical journal articles correlating the two subjects even exist is proof enough that there is a distinct possibility of a relation between the two, or perhaps you know enough about the opthamological aspects of this question to make sense of some of these articles where I'm clueless. Either way, I really hope this helps at least give you a start on getting an answer to your question:

I am so sorry to hear that you're battling pain at the moment. Last week I went through MISERY with a surprise episode that came out of left field, as it wasn't my typical dysauto or narcolepsy/cataplexy stuff: a kidney stone. OUCH! At least they were able to give me some relief for the pain while I was at the hospital. Is there anything that helps the TN, or are you just stuck with the misery until the flare up is over?
Bumping this for me :)
