Hi everyone, I hope your days are going well. I am having difficulty in the cold. And as it is getting colder, I am in more pain. I refuse to stay indoors and not do what I enjoy most- walks and runs outside, but it is certainly getting more complicated. I am fine while I am outside, but I have increased pain when I come indoors. And on the days I am indoors all day working, the pain can be relentless. Let me know what your experience is. Thanks. ---

The cold seems to make mine worse too. ---

Ugg - cold wind, cold days, weather changes - they all make my pain worse. Once the pain gets triggered it can be so much worse for a few days. Maybe we all need to move to a bubble somewhere where the air and temperature are all controlled 24/7. :) ---

Well, you are not alone! Recently there was a stretch of sunny Autumn weather in my area with temperatures around 45 degrees - the only problem was that the wind was coming from the north and the TN just fired up with I went outside, even with a scarf around my face. I haven't been able to take my little dog for a walk for weeks and feel like a prisoner in my own house. I have even checked into getting a handicap placard for my car so I won't have to walk from one end of a shopping lot to a store during the cold months - I'm embarrassed to use it, but what else can I do? I have also found that sitting in a hockey rink watching my grandson play make the TN ache more. Just the cold element aggravates the TN. Today I got a second procedure of the glycerol injection - from another doctor and right now, it's far too early to tell how successful it was, but I can say that my left cheek is numb and I'm truly hoping this goes away! The left side of my face feels like I just came from the dentist who injected my jaw with Novocain. Let's hope that goes away soon Without having a real pity party for myself, I guess I'll close, because this condition has caused nothing by suffering and desperation in my life. ---

I was just diagnosed, but the cold definitely seems to make it flare up. I'd love to stay home under my electric blanket all day, every day! ---

Me too. cold weather causes the pain to increase. Also, when the cold weather comes, i get the sniffles...and \*shakes head\* THAT is killing me right now. Each cough feels like my face/mouth is being dipped in acid. So yeah, cold weather sucks. Each fall i begin dreading the next couple months...i know i'm in for increased pain. ~Wishing we all lived in the bahamas.... Mistee ---

Me too. Cold weather is the worst trigger after extrem weather changes. I wear a head buff when I go outside now. It will get much much colder here in Berlin - I'm in for a few tough months. My nose is also killing me when I get a cold. The pain gets worse from blowing my nose or even when its just blocked. ---

I just bought two head buffs and I am SO HAPPY to have them!!! I also have a headband for over my ears. I look like i"m ready to rob a bank but it's so helpful!
