i am finding this very hard to accept. I find myeslf hoping and thinking the dentist missed a bad tooch during his exam. I switched to a pain sensitive toothpaste and actually felt some improvement, which realy got me hoping. Unfortunately, the attacks continue, amd I am booked with a nerve specialist in Jan. I guess I am still in denial.

I feel that way sometimes, with the TN and with the MS also. I get this way mostly when I go a while feeling really good. I convince myself the doctors must have made a mistake....many, many times. I don't think it's a bad thing, we sometimes need denial to get through particularly traumatic times. Be well Sweetie. Kisses and glitter hugs....LOL-Jen
