Hope this past month everyone was able to enjoy a little bit of holiday magic with family and friends.
Many of us can’t participate as much as we’d like in all the preparations and social activities… I hope you all enjoyed some joyful moments of the season.
Although I wasn’t able to attend any holiday parties or host this year, I did manage a few days here and there where I could go out for a few hours and shop with my husband. That in itself was a blessing.
Since September my TN pain ( on MVD side) has increased and I’ve been dancing with the meds ( as I call it) trying different doses/meds etc
I saw my neuro last week and he gave me an rx for Keppra to add to my tegretol and Dilantin when/ if I need it. I haven’t started yet …he left it to my discretion and gave me a dosing schedule for when I do need to start.
My side effects from the meds have been increasing as ive increased the doses, so if I can hold off on the Keppra I will.
Christmas Day Santa brought me a new area of pain…bah humbug!
It’s above my eye along the brow bone with an incredibly tender spot between my eyebrow and nose.
This is new for me, when I’ve had the upper branch involved its always been just below my eye…
My question is anyone else experience pain there? Any info. Tips for relief would be greatly appreciated. …
I did try and place a little lidocaine mixed cream but it’s so close to my eye I was very cautious, and it didn’t really help much.
Anyone have success with Keppra or want to share their experience with it?
Thanks,
(( hugs )) Mimi
