Newbie here looking for advice - also, do you have migraines?
I went to the ER for the first time in my life last night trying to find relief of any kind from what I believed to be a tooth-related issue. After a discussion of my symptoms, the lack of response to opioid pain medication, etc. they believe I have TM. I am awaiting my Rx from the pharmacy now for anti-convulsant and the neuro he referred me to to call me.
In the meantime, I'm researching and quite worried about what I'm seeing. Am I in for a life of pain? Is surgery this big deal that maybe doesn't even work and risks a lot? Am I just never going to get better?!
Also; in the last year or two, I began having migraines for the first time in my life. I assumed it was due to some pregnancy issue i was having, but now I'm wondering if it's this. I am not seeing any documented correlation between TM and migraines, but I see a few people in here mentioning them.
Not sure what I'm looking for other than some encouragement. I'm in pain, and scared. :(
