Hey Kat, I was looking around online for info about my odd revulsion of fuzzy things, and I came across the following information on Neuralgia. I don't know how many different options you and your doctors went through, so I thought I'd share it just in case.
"A more elusive type of neuralgia, atypical trigeminal, is yet more difficult to identify and diagnose. Pain is more constant than that of TN, but the condition is often misdiagnosed as jaw problems, migraines, or hypochondria. Though less intense pain is common with this type of neuralgia, those afflicted have few remissions from pain. Because of frequent misdiagnosis, risk of suicide to seek an end from unrelenting pain is extremely high. Atypical trigeminal neuralgia is sometimes referred to as suicide disease."
There's other kinds of neuralgia too, but the comment about being frequently misdiagnosed as migraines caught my eye.
