I;ve had it on for 5 hours now and so far, so good. *knock wood* no side effects that I can tell.

Today is THE WORST pain I have been in in 10 months, aside from when I had the meningitis headache. I came home and lay down at 5 and thought I was seriously going to die. I thought my head would just explode it was hurting so much.

The patch seems to have stomped the tension headache at the front of my head pretty good, but the ON headache is still raging. I will be taking a sleeping pill tonight for sure.

I can't fugre out why this is "flaring" for lack of a better description. It feels like it's gotten 10 times worse in the last 2 weeks since the rhyzotomy. Believe me, I am NEVER doing that again!

I see my pain specialist on Thursday next week, at my weekly appointment and believe me, I will be asking her if this is normal. Either it's getting way worse or my tolerance of it is waining.
