I have been suffering for last week and a half. I was put on baclofen then went this trigger started they upped it to 20 mg 3x a day I was too high but no pain, so I went back do 10mg 2x a day then 20 mg at night . Pain came back with a vengence now going back up to the high zone again but pain doesn't want to quit. a lot of head pain too in top and back of head, like I got hit with a bat or sliced the back jof my head off. Last night was the worst. Today, I have pain in cheeck and eye and top of head. I just want it to stop. This drug makees me very sleepy too. Will this ever stop? Jen

gentle jen

dang hon...i am so sorry you are gong though such pain. i can't offer you the answers about tos, but i can offer you support.

oh ouch and zowies Jen. you should probly just be resting ... resting and letting your body get adjusted to the meds and into your system. i might of missed but what doc put you on and justed had you up it? what other meds are you taking, sometimes a combo of certian meds works well for some and not so good for others and the doc has to find the right combo for each person and their pain symptoms.
If it gets unbearable GO TO THE E.R. (and bring your list of meds and the book striking back.) dont know how bad the pain is hitting you but I know it is hard to just sit/ lay and sleep or not even sleep just be half there and half else where. and no matter what the monster pain is dancing . believe it or not it dose get tired and slows, stops for a while sometimes lots of times people find a way to get the pain controlled at least down to a level they can live with/handle. even then we t.n. peps still are delt those ugly days/weeks heck ill say months for that matter where the face pain and all the mess just controll most everything and how it is done or not done.
you can come here and vent or have a pitty party all of us have been there where you are .I am going to p.m. you.
for now I hope at the least your are sleeping restfully and all the big pain is sliding away from you for a good long time it stay away! i know if only that worked I would be famous... just tryin to say hope you feel past better soon Jen.

My pain has gone down a little now I am flying high. I take trileptal 1800mg, lyrica 200mg. and now the baclofen 60 mg. I have to take my son to cub scouts tonite so I am trying not to take the next dose till 8 p.m. Hope it works. Still high as a kite so coffee till then. Maybe husband will go don't think so thou. I feel like the guys in mary poppins now. floating. I hate it , distorted everything. I wish my body would just catch up. Still not pain free thou, shooters flying left and right at 10 & 2. dull pain above left eye. bearable for a tner though. I wonder what a normal persom would say about our bearable pain for a hour. Jen

hey you buckel up and BE CAREFUL DRIVING GIRL!!! It is some what nice to hear the pain has gone down a bit tho always a good thing.
the rest of the world has normal covered as far as I am concerned, thats why God made me ha ha . After a while one forgets what normal was ...
thats why only people who have been there really know what its like
have a safe good night eat and take your med at 8 p.m. but NEVER TAKE A DOUBLE DOSE IF YOU MISS ONE OF YOUR DOSE TIMES!
take care of Jen .
peace and painfree wishes to ya
