He took a few x-ray, had an mri, and we had another talk.

Turns out with a few adjustments to my neck and spine, my allodynia started to go away. But it came back when I didn't see him for two months. Turns out it was my cervical spine and a nerve being pinched. I'm able to keep it at bay but it comes back every so often. He told me that the facial nerve that is being affected but it is something that will not totally go away.

But I just wanted to let you know that maybe a chiropractor might be able to help you. But maybe not, but it's worth a try.

My prayers go out to you and others as it is a bothersome thing when you can't let others touch you. My husband at least was understanding and helps when he can with stretching.
