Members connected over the question of how many in the community have Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) and its possible link to MS and fibromyalgia, with many sharing their personal diagnoses and overlapping conditions. Several members described living with both TN and fibromyalgia, noting that facial and nerve pain can be intense, while one member shared that a nerve medication prescribed for TN unexpectedly quieted their fibro symptoms too. A recurring theme was the difficulty of getting proper answers and treatment, paired with warm encouragement and gentle hugs shared throughout the thread.

They tested me for TMJ, the test was so painful. My ex husband has MS and it actually mimics fibromyalgia in a way. Hope you feel better soon.
