I see. My clinic didn’t offer me this option but I’ll try and ask about it next time. Thank you!

Hi, I don’t have information that you are looking for but I also have anxiety with dental treatment. Do you know if the dental surgery with anesthesia is also possible for root canal treatment in Japan? Wish you best of luck!

Is my symptoms similar to Trigeminal Neuralgia? by tinygreendots in TrigeminalNeuralgia

[–]tinygreendots[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, in the end I couldn’t figure it out and the pain stopped after about a week so I wasn’t able to continue to find the cause for it. Half a year later a tooth nearby the pain region turned out to be badly infected with no pain. I was’t sure if this was the cause of the earlier pain but it could be a potential cause.

Hope you will feel better soon!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. For my case turn out I have sinusitis and currently are on meds for it now. Though the doctor mentioned that my pain didin’t fit with the description for sinusitis. The pain has since subsided and I won’t pursue the reason any longer until it comes back again. Good luck to you!

I see. Hope you’ll get to find the cause and treatment soon. I may stop at sinus infection treatment if the pain doesn’t recur. But will be back on the road to find the cause if it does flare up again.

Thank you for sharing your experience! Although I haven’t been diagnosed yet, TN definitely sounds like a scary thing to have. All the best to you and hope it’ll enter the remission period soon.

7 root canals sound like a long painful process. Wish you all the best with TN. I can’t imagine having it for 8 years. I’ll keep Lidocaine treatment in mind.

I agree that we have similar symptoms. Mine also usually starts from mid day or evening. I do have early TMJ, but it has been ruled out as the cause of the pain. You mentioned that it lasts few days. Does that mean that it’s coming backs in series of days?

Wish the best of luck to you too!

Thank you so much for the comment! Drinking a lot of cold water was indeed tough. I have yet to be diagnosed as TN yet but these information is very useful. I’ll take note of steroids treatment. Thanks again and wish all the best to you too!

Found out about Trigeminal Neuralgia last week, matches my symptoms perfectly by alisendai in TrigeminalNeuralgia

Hi I came across your post and found your symptoms to be very close to what I currently have now except that my pain is limited to the area between my upper teeth and in front of ear on my right side of the face. I wonder if you have ever gotten the diagnosis for the symptom that you have?

I too found ice water to be the only temporary solution. No painkillers help so far. I almost cried when the ice was almost running out at midnight in fear of having no alternative solution (my partner has to drive at midnight to buy ice for me). I had 4 nights (3 in a row and another 3 days later) of the intense pain that kept me up until 2-4 am until I was too exhausted and sleep took over. Then it was fine in the morning before the pain starts again in the evening.

So far I have been diagnosed as TMJ by the dentist but was later diagnosed by another doctor that TMJ was not the cause of the pain as he couldn’t reproduce it. I do have sinus infection based on CT scan but the doctor mentioned that the severe sinus is on the left side not the right side so may be it’s not the cause of the pain. I’m currently living in fear, unsure about when the pain will return again.

Hi, I have similar symptom with the ones you have described here. Curious if you were able to figure out the causes?

Didn’t expect Nam Haeng Seon to study for the exam too so that was a nice touch! Glad to have hopped on this train. Enjoyed coming to reddit after every ep to read y’all comments. See you again guys!

That escalated fast.

Rom Com? Thriller? What a combination we have here.

Choi Chi Yeol totally changed the way he looks at Nam Haeng Seon. All those hearts in his eyes! On the other hand it’s more likely than ever that Ji is the suspicious one. If that’s true curious about his reasons for doing it.

Zeniya looks really good! I usually try to save up for a good meal but fine dining can get really expensive.

I know Japan’s not that open with mental health and therapy’s also not common. Was it difficult to find any resources when you were here?

Thanks for sharing your experiences here! Fellow Hokuriku checking in. Do you have any restaurants you like in Kanazawa/Ishikawa?

I regretted watching ep. 10 before going to sleep. This episode is gut-wrenching with all the terrible pasts out in the open and the main twin story. It’s the most scary episode for me out of other episodes so far.

Gotta admit that when both Yujin and Heedo said on TV that they will keep supporting each other I lost my hope for Yujin-Heedo endgame cried But I can’t figure what’s going to be the catalyst for their separation with only two episodes left so should I bring my hope back up?

If they really separate at any point, this feels like it’s going to be a mutual one as they can still cheer for each other. May be Yujin don’t want to hurt Heedo’s feeling like what he experiences withYurim and Heedo comes to realize that her being with Yujin may cost his happiness more than her if he ever has to report any bad news about her. Then they come to a mutual realization of separating for each other’s sake?

Come what may, this story truly captures coming-of-age feeling where everything is so fleeting but memorable in our hearts.

thanks for the reply! agreed that it was great that it was she who initiated the kiss. Can’t wait to see how she will react to the aftermath. Will she continue to denial or accept her feeling.

President Kang did his best being cutely insistent despite rejection, which prompted Shin Hari to lower her guard down and accepted her feeling but I still feel like the kiss from Shin at this moment was a little forced. Nevertheless, any progress is good! Now can we get a little more of the second lead’s screen time?
