trigeminal neurologia/MS

by iggy78, Oct 17, 2008 04:03PM
can anyone help??

over 2 months ago i started to get a pain at the back of my right eyeball, this progressed to my temple, ear and half my mouth. After having injections to kill the pain and taking lyrica (which had major side effects) the pain eventually subsided but didn't disappeared totally.  The pain/ache has now moved to the left side of my face and has brought with it facial numbness on the left side and also on my forehead, short term memory loss to a certain extent, blurry vison at night, and a couple of weird cold chills down the left side of my body. My GP suggested TN and sent me to see a consultant who is further sending me for an MRI.  If anyone can help me with their suggestions or is going throught the same expreience as me i'm all ears open. I'm at my withs end now with it all. Please someone help.

hi

I understand how you feel........Im going through some of the same symptoms.......In the morning I cant open my right eye without having pain.....and my vision is blurry too.
Im waiting for an apt with a neurosurgeon.  I am so depressed from all of this. I dont have the facial numbness .......I do get chills ...and cant get warm......im taking only tylenol so far and and almost paralized with pain at times.
