Why do's water affect my TN and why do's smoking calm it
Hi Michael
I am no expert but smoking can calm many people, maybe when you're feeling more calm you relax and so does the pain. I don't know as I don't smoke. I'm not sure I understand what you mean by water, do you mean drinking or washing? When my pain is very bad drinking anything makes me have strong pain. Also washing can be very painful as anything that touches the face triggers my pains.

Meaning in washing my hair or rain or sweat any liquid on my head or forehead causes severe pain as for smoking i don't smoke but a cigar when i'm in severe pain well it helps
Funny you say that....I notice that when I drink beer my pain calms down. I can feel the tightness in my check and the electric shock but no pain. My husband said it might be the yest in the beer.
Unfortunately I don't or can't drink exept on christmas day i then risk a brandy , it appears this illness has a different curse or cure for everyone
Michael, maybe it's the sensation of the water on your face the triggers your TN. It's hard for a person to know unless they've been there themselves. When I wash my face its my hands touching my face that causes the pain. But we are all different. All the best, Jackie
