Pain quality and temporal pattern of tn and tmd are generally different. In addition, it's generally considered that if tegretol can not relieve tn, then it's not tn.It appears that you are fibromyalgia sufferer, multidiscipline team approach is probably required to manage your chronic pain.If an orofacial pain or tmj specialist is included in the team, you probably would benefit more.
