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.
What are the symptoms associated with Trigeminal Neuralgia? Pains are brief, lasting from seconds to a couple of minutes. Attacks of repeated brief bursts of severe pain may occur and last for an hour or more. Pains are usually shooting, stabbing, sharp and electric-like. Pains are usually triggered by light touch such as talking, eating or brushing the teeth. Pains are located in the face, usually in the cheek, lips, jaw, palate, tongue, teeth, gums, side of the nose and, less often, about the eye and forehead.
