One way of relief from TN

So last night I had the return of a TN attack at night and it was horrible.

Took 2 Anadins and still the pain was there one hour later. I then got a cold bottle of water from the freezer and stuck it on the side of my neck and also at the back of the neck and the pain went away very quickly. I get a sense that the nerve over-heats and my temperature rises each time I get a TN attack so perhaps cooling the area where the pain radiates from is one way of getting relief? Just thought I would share this with you...
