People with neuralgia can experience sudden attacks of pain generally triggered by things that aren't normally painful such as speaking, chewing, or touching the affected area. Diseases like multiple sclerosis can cause the onset of these symptoms, as can injury. Also, people who have diabetes may also develop neuralgia if they experience nerve damage due to excess glucose.
