Trigeminal Neuralgia?

[cyclonefence]

9. That's on my list

Trouble is, I have chronic sinusitis and have had dozens of sinus surgeries over the years. This has left my sinus geography unusual to say the least. I can have a terrible sinus infection with no symptoms--my nose is clear, no external drainage, no pain in the jaw, nothing but a weakening of my voice. I had polio as a child and my throat was paralyzed, so sometimes my voice is very weak anyway. The only symptom I had this time--and this is a first--was pinkeye.

I had a CT scan of the sinuses which showed a massive infection, and that's what *might* be causing the pressure on my trigeminal nerve. I hope I hope I hope. So *maybe* when the infection clears up--I'm on a high taper dose of prednisone and clarithromycin, *maybe* my nerve pain will go away.

Thanks for your suggestions and concern.
