Hi. After numerous tests....cts, Mri's, blood work, oral surgeon, neurologist, internist, I have been given the diagnosis of atypical facial pain. I've been hurting (level 5-8 pain) for over 3 months. Can't work, talk, sleep, eat, no joy in my life. So now I'm told I will have this forever and can learn to 'manage' it.
Gabapentin does take the edge off but makes me so fuzzy and groggy.
Please, someone out there tell me this is not a life sentence and may possibly get better one day.
I'm feeling depressed and hopeless.
