Well it looks like contary to others and only speaking for myself. I do get waken up from face pain durring sleep. it is always because most usualy I have been asleep on the wrong side of my face or my pillow or bed or arm is touching my face/ resting on it ...whatever. the side that has my leads my right side... but I get to sleep again if it is bad I turn on my neuro stim . sleeping I had to relearn most of the time it is alone in my happy chair .
Keep in mind I got my a dolorosa from an auto accident and I have 3 plates (one of which is too close to where my nerve is snapped )on lower jaw and also a neuro stim on right side ..my face has had enough up close contact .. I guess ya could say.
sorry didnt answer sooner havent been on in a bit Jen. hope your are doing well and also getting answers and info . dont give up searching and ALWAYS KEEP HOPE!!!!
