trigeminal neuralgia symptoms ms

I have these symptoms and a diagnosis of RRMS. Bilateral trigeminal neuralgia is almost exclusive to MS. I have it as well to match my brainstem lesions. As noted on one of my recent posts, dysautonomia can occur in MS with brainstem lesions so it may be tough to parse out the different symptoms to different diagnoses. The bilateral trigeminal neuralgia points to MS. The rest of the symptoms I can't be so definite about. But I have done much research on the trigeminal neuralgia.

Hi all, small question for you, i had no symptoms for 5 months, which was wonderful, and then i got this urinary infection , and the next thing i knew i had severe face pain, particularly in my nose, where it feels lie i have been bashed in the face with a pan, i have buzzing in my ears, and just a general tightness in my neck and shoulders, i got my eyebrows tattooed also, could this have caused trigeminal neuralgia ? or would it have been the infection, ?

Brain lesions can cause symptoms in various locations in your body, but are more likely to be the cause of trigeminal neuralgia, cognitive impairment, optic neuritis, vertigo, dysphagia, etc.

I have what is called Paratrigeminal Neuralgia and it is related to Trigeminal Neuralgia which this could be related to. I am also thinking that it could be a paresthesia which is caused by nerves in your face. I think this is something worth mentioning to your neuro next time you see one.

Did you ever get a reply? Sounds like Trigeminal Neuralgia Type 1 or Atypical. There is help for this! Same needs used for seizures help condition and pain attacks. Tegretol is one but many more. Thank you Neurologist treats TN. Studies happening now.

he said to me well Utah does not have Medical Majiuana but for trigeminal neuralgia I can put you on Marinol the side effects will help you ... I asked him what it was and he told me I was just glad I wasn't presenting for it...

Compression of the trigeminal nerve by ectatic vessels, a recognized cause of idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia, was not observed. We conclude that in MS trigeminal neuralgia is usually caused by demyelinating lesions affecting pontine trigeminal pathways.

Thanks for responding Alex. I have experienced trigeminal neuralgia, but it didn't involve the tooth pain or roof of my mouth. I will give the doc a call tomorrow if this persists. Have a good evening.

Cellulitis would not cause headache and speech problems, whereas trigeminal neuralgia would not cause visible redness and swelling. I can't think of a connection between these symptoms and her back operations or your MS. I think primary consultation should be with a neurologist. Sorry I can't be more definitive. Dr.

For this, well need help of the other symptom, the face. To me, it looks likes the pain and hypersensitivity to touch as seen in Trigeminal Neuralgia. You have described the facial pain in exactly the manner in which Trigeminal Neuralgia strikes. I am concerned here. If this is trigeminal neuralgia, and you do not have any other indication that would tell that this is a herpes virus infection, the next option is MS. I feel this should be kept in mind and ruled out accordingly.

I haven't found the beginning of the sx list for MS. Is trigeminal neuralgia on there? It should be. Also, how can we connect all of our MS sites and forums so it's easier to navigate among them? I'm on so many that I lose track. Feel good.

Hi neuralgia--yes, the connections and overlap between fibromyalgia and autoimmune disorders, the connections with stress, etc. are interesting (and confusing). Too much for me to figure out. :) I wouldn't say I have trigeminal neuralgia as it typically occurs, because I have had very little in the way of pain.

I forgot to mention that Trigeminal Neuralgia is 300 times more common in MS than it is in the general population. So, yes, it would be related to the MS.

Also if you are having the tingling or numbness, this can also be attributed to Trigeminal Neuralgia, which can also be a symptom of MS. It would probably be a great idea to see a doctor and see if you can be referred to a neurologist.

Ugh, I wish I even knew what to do. My hands and feet have been burning and tingling since last Thursday. I called my current neuro to see if it was a side effect/reaction to Trileptal which I take for trigeminal neuralgia. I finally got a call back from him 3 days later. He says it could or could not be related to the medicine, but basically said to deal with it because the medicine seems to be helping some. My MRI showed lesions and the report states the lesions are consistent with MS.

An interesting aspect is that this form affects both men and women equally and can occur at any age, unlike typical trigeminal neuralgia, which is seen most commonly in women. Though TN and ATN most often present in the fifth decade, cases have been documented as early as infancy. http://en.wikipedia.

Dear Friend, Trigeminal Neuralgia is a really painful condition.However the lesion in your white matter may not linked with the same.If , after numerous MRI's nothing conclusive has been found about your brain's white matter lesions,then it's better to pause the things. However the alarming thing is the sporadic weakness in your legs.I would suggest you to get a MRI screening of the full back.Maybe it will reveal more findings rather than multiple brain MRI's.

org/posts/Multiple-Sclerosis/Attack-of-trigeminal-neuralgia--OMG/show/2646953#post_12856616) I moaned about it, but I have to say it was excruciating. Fine now, at least from that standpoint. The standard treatment is Tegretol (carbamazepine). It turns out I can't tolerate that, as a reasonably effective dose wiped out my balance and had me staggering all over the place. It also almost destroyed my platelet count, which was down to 23.

I have MS and Trigeminal Neuralgia and I recently took a long trip on an airplane (8 hours). When the plane was descending every time (5 landings) I had an excrutiating pain in my right side of my cheek which subsided once the plane had landed. I am wondering if this could be a sinus problem or if it could be trigeminal neuralgia? I have no other symptoms of sinus problems...i.e. feeling congested, runny nose. I have CÖPD and Asthma as well but they are under control with medication.

Some days it is more frequent than others and some days it seems to focus on one side of my body. I also feel trigeminal neuralgia more or less, one episode a month. Anybody else deal with this?

I believe I have some trigeminal neuralgia also. At least my chiro says I do and with as bad as my TMJ is I wouldn't doubt it. I also have a really bad neck so I wonder how many symptoms are from those two alone... It's hard to be in limboland isn't it? I don't even know what kind of Dr. to see next.
