Ok I am really new with this DX, since Jan 1st, but I am in a terrible amount of pain all day, and I can tell you I have a high tolerance for pain.
Different things can send it off worse: coughing,sneezing,a breeze,a stroke across my face( which could be a hand or my hair and I have very long hair).
Eating is starting to hurt as well. Not only putting food into my mouth but also because the pain is so bad that I am starting to throw up.
I can not sleep on that side of my face which can make some nights very long.
Also I can not scratch my face if it is itchy. Some pains go into my face, into my eye, cheek or jaw into my teeth upper and lower and some of the pain goes through my head. It is also making my ear hurt at some points. When it not shooting it is a terrible ache, or a very painful numbness.
I hate this. I have an appointment with the specialist on Feb 10 which is great cause I don't have to wait forever, but a this rate I will be dead or really injured, as the pain makes me dizzy, and I have fainted on more then one occasion, once going down the stairs.
I am not able to go to work. I get paid at the moment but, I hate being paid and not working.
Thanks for letting me rant :(
Does anymore have an suggestions on how to relieve some of these symptoms? I know that it might not get rid of the pain all together but some relief or technique to help get through it would be greatly appreciated.
