Trigeminal Neuralgia
Does anyone else have this? I haven't been officially diagnosed, but by symptoms are pretty similar. Pretty much every time I get sick with some sort of head cold (with congestion), it's like a thousand midgets doing the macarena from my brow bone all the way down to my jaw. It's always on the left side. There's a little bit of swelling, my left eye seems to water a bunch and it feels like I'm holding in a sneeze only on that side (if that makes sense). At first they thought it was Cellulitis (which i'm glad it's not) but it comes too frequently and it is easily the worst pain I have ever experienced. I guess B12 is good for nerve health, so i've been taking that like crazy, as well as keeping an ice pack on my face. The bottom line is, is there a natural way to keep this under control? I hate going to doctors, and to get this diagnosed I would have to get an MRI and a CT scan. I'm extremely claustrophobic. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You're probably not going to get much advice on this other than, "Go see a doctor."
I've never heard of trigeminal neuralgia so I have nothing to offer either.
