glossopharyngeal neuralgia

Hi! Anyone familiar with glossopharyngeal neuralgia? Hope so, it seems to be rare with MS, but it seems I possibly have it. Good day everyone!

@JoyceG , this seems incredibly rare. Did the diagnosis come from a Doctor or self-diagnosis? This could be another possibility :- https://mstrust.org.uk/a-z/trigeminal-neuralgia ? Please note, I'm not medical, more an amateur sleuth. 😉

Hi @Stumbler, I'd never do a self-diagnosis... I mentioned it to my neuro and she said "Yes, this could certainly be causing your pain". When you look it up you'l find: "Glossopharyngeal neuralgia, it is experienced as a severe pain in the tongue, throat, ear and/or tonsils". That is exactly where my pain is (among others, including Trigeminal neuralgia..) Anyway, thanks for responding my question!
