Questioning TN....headaches
 
Curious if anyone gets headaches after blow drying hair? This may be a strange question, but wondering if anyone else experiences this or if it is even related to my diagnosis of TN. These are not stabbing pains, but more of a vague headache that can last for hours after drying hair. Anyone else?

Blow drying my hair used to trigger my TN but only if I let the air hit my face. Same if I walked past a heater and it hit my cheek. Or, cold air did the same thing.

I am new to the diagnosis of trigeminal neuralgia but I've had almost constant face pain and headache for 10 years. Yes, using the blow dryer on the left side of my head, where my pain is, definately causes my pain to increase.

I have only been able to blow dry my bangs for over 10 years now. Any sort of air movement is a trigger for me. Even something as simple as turning a page in a magazine.
