HazBaz Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 New symptons! YAY! Getting A LOT of trigeminal activity at the moment. Stabbing pains mostly on my cluster side. Makes it worse if and when I touch my face.... The clusters themselves are back under control. Verapamil to thank for that. And not drinking. Typical when the sun is absolutely stunning in the UK this week! Does any one else suffer from trigeminal neuralgia during clusters? And if so, how do you mediate it/reduce its effects? Thanks. H.

ClusterHeadSurvivor Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I have a friend with TM. We have the same neurosurgeon. She had 12 surgeries in 1 year. She still suffers daily with zero relief. Poor gal. My heart bleeds for her and you and anyone with TN. Pain free wishes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazBaz Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Hmmmmm. It's not that bad... Yet. Hopefully it stays that way. But my heart goes out to your friend CHS... I'm experiencing NOTHING close to that and it's very unpleasant. Thanks for the sentiment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiny Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Yes. My best solution so far is to lightly rub the offending branch gently back toward the source. You do get in trouble if you have three branches wound up at once!! Doc tried to put me back on 300Mg of Lyrica per day. No thank you. I just consider it part of the package I was gifted with. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
