Mark, might you grind your teeth at night? that could add to the facial pain and headaches. i do and it causes bad facial pain...though i wouldn't describe it as burning. i had this attractive trait before my concussion. my tinnitus is stronger in the ear on the side where my jaw hurts more, but i didn't have tinnitus before the concussion...but TMJ syndrome can cause tinnitus.
i only bring it up b/c it's much more treatable than an ABI, and we all just want solutions, darmit! though a couple months after getting a mouthguard i'm still in pain. i think the lexapro makes me clench my teeth even more...

April 11, 2014 Flipped in class 2 white water while kayaking, hit my forehead (was wearing a helmet). Lots of symptoms to begin with. Those remaining are fatigue, brain freezes/overstimulation, headaches, sensitivity to light and sound. Insomnia is getting better but still an issue, and appetite is ba-ack! Depression and anxiety are largely under control thanks to Lexapro, exercise, and a very distant light at the end of the tunnel.
Drugs: Lexapro, occasional 2-5mgs ambien. Off amatryptaline. Taking about 453 supplements.
Just started vision therapy, waiting on some blue-tinted prism glasses.
