Weary, don't forget to take vitamin D. In fact, you might want to ask to get your levels checked. I take D3, B complex and extra B 12 (methyl type)....as well as some other supplements.

My stomach could not take anymore meds.

Check out my previous posts to see what is in my compounded cream. And I also take Trycyclic medication (tablet).

Possible help/but CAUTION

Before I got the RX cream, I found a cream on line called ortho nesic gel that provided a tiny bit of help for short periods of time. BUT these types of creams placed on the face in particular are potentially dangerous, because they can burn or you can get some in your eyes. If you use this or anything like this, use a tiny amount and extreme caution. I also liked a heating pad (not when using any cream!) I also sometimes experimented with a lidocaine cream called LMX. Again, extreme caution is necessary.

Anyway, things aren't perfect for me, but my new routine is better and more manageable and I am grateful. Took a long time to get here. I pray it continues.

Good luck...if you haven't done so already, find yourself a great neuro and get your vitamin levels checked (might need to have a separate doc for this).
