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.

I get the chill sensation on my left side if i am laying on my right side and vice versa. I sometimes get a chill sensation in my head.  I have had numbness in left cheek. But if i touch or scratch the outside of my cheek i can feel that fine. I take atenolol for blood pressure and that can make you cold. But the chill sensations are more than being cold. They are weird. Sometimes i think the cheek numbness can be from an allergic reaction to makeup. It seems somewhat better when i don't wear makeup. Dentist said it coukd be sensative nerve endings causing numbness. But no one has an answer to the weird chills.

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.
