I have trigeminal neuralgia
Diagnosed 2013. Determined idiopathic.
It usually is a quick, intense pain but then subsides.
Not now.
Recently I've been diagnosed with eosinophilia. Too many of eosinophils a type of white blood cell.
About a month ago, the trigeminal neuralgia started waking me up at night. And the "zap" was different. At that time, it was in my left eye. And the "zap" held on. Unbelievable painful. I felt paralyzed until it FINALLY stopped. How long, ? Seemed an eternity. But it was quite during the day.
This morning it woke me up again. This time, top left scalp and ran to my top left lip. And it hasn't let up all day. It comes and goes, but it doesn't stay away for long.
When it's not "zapping" I am left with an odd tingling sensation on scalp, upper left lip, and cheek.
The other odd thing I noticed today, after an intense ZAP, my brain went foggy. Had the hardest time making it thru work. Major brain fog, dizziness, and my vision would go blurry.
Now I am completely exhausted.
Anyone know what's going on?
Do I need to call my doctor?
Neurologist will just want to do another MRI. Still paying on the last THREE that showed nothing.
Do I call my hematologist?
Lastly, Almost 2 weeks ago, I had an unexplained fever of 102. No other symptoms. Hit me out on walk with dog. Barely made it home. It knocked me out. I crashed, sweated like crazy, and my daughter said I was trying to say something to her but she couldn't understand me. I also remember feeling like the walls were pulsing and or moving. IT WAS NOT FUN.
Is this coincidental or could they be related?
Please someone! What is going on???
