Pain in general tends to do that. It's hard to be happy or perky when you're in pain. I have Trigeminal Neuralgia (the facial pain you're talking about) as a symptom of my MS but some people get it all by itself. Do they have you on any medicine for it? Sometimes Advil will help to take the edge off when it gets unbearable. But I try not to take Advil very often. I know I have a very hard time not snapping at everyone when my pain is really bad, that makes it hard for the kids. I just have to say I'm so sorry. I know exactly what it feels like and I hope they find something to help you, soon!
