Check into possible trigeminal neuralgia (TN); a small percentage of MS patients suffer with that. I was diagnosed with TN at a relatively early age so I was also checked for MS. I was put on anti-convulsants to control the pain. Beware of Tegretol. I had awful side effects. Now I'm taking Depakote with little to no problems. Some research in England shows allergies (food and environmental) can contribute to MS. Good luck and God bless.
