When I had intensive oral surgery 3 years ago it triggered the nerve for 3 months but fortunately no where near as painful.
In recent months that area has niggled

I also get a strange feeling of pins and needles in both cheeks with no obvious causation.
my periods waxed and waned for a few years B4 they finally disappeared = menopause. In hindsight many of my anxiety symptoms and forgetting things were peri but a) I was unaware of this stage and b) as my anxiety has been problematic since age 3, we treated it appropriately.
Some find that keeping a mood/food/sympom diary of use to chart progress.
