fever with sweats. Carolenk, in response to your question about fever with sweats. I have always believed the sweats came after a fever broke so never worried about checking temp @ night. However, the last couple of months I have been experiencing chills in the early evening.
Migraine and cluster headaches may produce severe unilateral pain, but unlike trigeminal neuralgia, these conditions are not triggered by movement or contact with the face nor do they respond promptly to carbamazepine. See Table 1, below.
The main symptom of trigeminal neuralgia is sudden attacks of severe sharp shooting facial pain that last from a few seconds to about two minutes. The pain is often described as excruciating, similar to an electric shock. The attacks can be so severe that you're unable to do anything during them. Trigeminal neuralgia usually affects one side of the face. In rare cases it can affect both sides, although not at the same time. The pain can be in the teeth, lower jaw, upper jaw, cheek and, less commonly, in the forehead or the eye.
