thalamic pain syndrome
 

that's what neuro told me is causing the waking up with burning head or the burning pain from any time I get excited or emotional.

He said tremors could be from thalamus and brain stem not communicating right when I wake up.

Said not much can be done and gave me a script for painkillers but I'm on enough medicine. Don't see how I could ever work again with emotions bringing on pain. I guess it is what it is.

another doc had mentioned this years back, an I od have a mild thalamic stroke under the belt on top of tbi.

If any of you have heard of this or treatment please let me know. thanks.
