I have had daily headaches for just over five years. Mine are due to ON as far as I know, and for that Elavil works wonders! Tylenol and Advil together will take the edge off, and if it's Tylenol PM it usually knocks me out so I can sleep some of it off. My other face pain is TN as well.

You could try lavender and peppermint scented oils together rubbed on your temples and the back of your neck, that helps with migraines. That's what this is and I have a friend plagued with recurrent migraines, she swears by this stuff! I can't use it because I'm allergic to lavender though

I hope you get rid of it fast!

its another headache filled day. I have been waking up with them. visual migraines rotating with real migraines all day for the last 3 days. Im really sick of this.

I did the chiro, took pain pills, went back to sleep, stayed quiet, used the TENS unit, got a massage, used hot packs, and several other interventions that didnt work out.

im out of ideas.

May everyone w head pain find some healing today.

I'm trying to think of all the things I have used for TN, ON and migraines. The ones that aren't mentioned are music and imagery. I also used peppermint.

The peppermint was Dr. Bronner's peppermint oil. I used it in the shower and washed my face w the imagery that i was washing the pain away. Then rested.

Another imagery was to paint my face w an imaginary paint brush w novacaine gel.

I used music that had no words and was "airy" w space in it. No beat. A meandering piano piece was good.
