Darlene,

I hope that your headaches ease soon and you slowly get better & better. My LTL surgery was in 3/06, and I recall jaw pain took about 5 months to disappear. Horrible headaches lasted a while but they did grow less intense as time passed and not day in and day out either. I began taking Maxalt, for migraines, a year or so after my surgery.

I think that the first 3 months after my surgery were very physically challenging. The emotional impact struck about 1 month after the surgery. There were very high "highs" and deep "lows" that lasted a few weeks. I did develop major depression in that period of recovery, which I shared with my epileptologist at the 3 month check-up. If you find yourself in that deep low, speak up to your doctor quickly.

You are in my thoughts, take care!
