Could it be temporary?
Hello, I(29M) was diagnosed with TN couple weeks ago after having my bad teeth done and my wisdom tooth removed. Ever since my last treatment(couple fillings and wisdom tooth removal), I did not have any attacks and my neurologist who is a professor seems to think that my condition could be a temporary thing. I only had zaps once which I had 2 seperate zaps that lasted maybe 1 second each other than that I had continuous pain attacks 3 or 4 times.My first pain attack was around 6 months ago after a root canal. Second one was around 3 months ago. Both attacks did not make me lose sleep or anything like that, they were more like a disturbance rather than chronic pain. But mu last attack I had zaps and one night I couldn’t sleep dur to yhe continuous pain. I hope that my doctor is right but I’m still pretty pessimistic after reading all your stories. I have seen 2 different doctors, both did not recommend drugs as of yet and were both telling me this may be temporary.
