I see this is an older thread too - but I hope some of you come back to it because there is a NEW phenomenon going on with the weather that is either MY MISTAKE or "being kept quiet"

- SUPER HIGH...

Gee I regret missing this thread, nothing since March of 2012.... is anyone still awake here? LoL

Sleep is essential, but I dare not sleep. All bad things happen if I sleep more than 2 hours at a...

I owe the three of you an apology - I am sorry I dropped off FOR 18 MONTHS!!

My life got turned upside down in several ways after my last post, and tonight I was reviewing my "current...

I think the pressure is coming from the "Colleges" [of Phys and Surgeons] - we are sure seeing a lot of people being taken off opiates and dosage reductons {as if opiate doses can be reduced without...

Hi Eva - I am on opiates but no, I don't get sweating {I am male, maybe that makes a diff?}

But I DO sweat if I go more than about 5 hours between doses - are you keeping your levels up or is it...

don't laugh, it really helped = Echanacia.... and Vit . C {grams and grams of it} it seemed to work for me, good luck whatever you try!

but we learned to scorn 'em

Well this is really eye opening for me!!

I did have a CFS leak [if I understand the concept correctly] after a lumbar puncture in yr 1985 to investigate a suspected meningitis infection... for...

"It" comes on in autumn... this year has been cloudy and rainy for weeks until now, bright sunshine today and...Ow.

"Ow" now = left eye pain, sharp, strong, steady pain.

But only there, no...

Maybe its is about "Knowing who your real friends are" lol

The dreams are getting closer, in time, to what is really going on:
Today I dreamed I was in some house and sleeping there, and while sleeping I had a dream that I had friends show up, but I could...

I had a scary episode tonight - at first I was dreaming that there were people [whom I know well] all around me, and we were all going to sleep. In the dream I fell asleep but soon woke up again -...

I was looking for a "skin" forum in the Neurological section here, but the Fibro forum will do as "skin pain" is not a separate condition with it's own name - or is there a specific disease of that?...

I guess Fibro can cause pain anywhere... I have been having a terrible time with pains in my wrists, but it is NOT carpal tunnel [basic tests done by my doc]
And, my hands hurt at times, mostly in...

oops, I feel pretty silly now... I am not very "street wise" and I have since learned that "METHamphetamine" means "crystal meth" that deadly ugly awfull drug

I should have used the term...

I had the fright of my life two years ago from one of those pee tests - it came back pos for opiates and cannabis [as it should, I have the ok for pot and am prescribed morphine]... but they are a...

I am a chronic pain guy, a neuroligical thing I think, but then there are headaches that seem unrelated to the other pains.


This summer was the most headache-free period in at least two years...

Has anyone here ever heard of stimulants such as Methamphetamine helping some of these neurological problems?

Or, if they DO help, what does that MEAN??

I have successfully warded off TN...

Sorry to hear of your problems - that foot sounds bad.
just thought I would say Hi
good luck!!

My GP says my neuroligist is having some doubts about my diagnosis of "Atypical Trigeminal Neuralgia", although I am not sure why exactly.

Certainly, my case is "atypical" in the way the attacks...

I didn't see that there was a "next page", I just thought nobody replied.

msmaggie, that is something I would have forgot to do, about asking for the treatment the same day, you just saved me a...

I should apologise for posting before doing my own research, but it does all relate to TN and "brain talk" - My sleep problems started with the onset of TN.

As Wiki explains,...

msmaggie - the closest appears to be Kelowna, a 5 hour drive [for me, some do it faster] and although I can almost feel I need that adjuctment, the trip would be it's own painfull hazard that would...

Well, thank you both for the excellent replies.

I did have some success, quite a few years ago now, with "some:" chiros - about 1 in 5 were able to adjust my neck without hurting me. Those "1s"...

I found the notes I made - it is C4-5 and C5-6 that are the problem areas with my neck. but the Doc says the Trigeminal Nerve comes from the brain stem and not the neck so the neck spodylosis has...

Ya, I see you are getting plenty of laxitive advise... but the Q was about the drug eh.

I think that is one of the SYNTHETIC opiates... the natural morphine might be better for you? I have found...

ps - mods - now I remember - I have posted here several times, and every time when I click on "post topic" I get a message saying I don't have permission, and it asks me to sign in... but the message...

I was diagnosed with "Atypical Trigeminal Neuralgia", atypical because the episodes come on gradually instead of suddenly, and because the episodes last longer than a few seconds and do not repeat. ...

I have been having very vivid dreams...

It wakes me up. I get 60 to 90 minutes anymore, unless I sleep in my chair and I can pull off 2 or 3 hours, but I might wake up with a stiff neck.

I have...

hi Joy. Is this sleep problem more severe lately, or has it been that way all year? for years?

Anyway, I am finding that some of my weakness and "awesome terrible fatigue" lately might have...

Hi all - I am thinking you are in the USA, right>? Anyway, similar stuff is going down in Canada too - they want to reduce prescriptions for pain meds, and it hasallready started. Big shortages,...

Hi Ima - I replied to your post, like this one, but in a different thread/forum yesterday... I cannot find it now, this place is huge [its great tho]

Anyhow, I want you to know someone read it......

Well, you have a great nicname... except I want it, cuz I AM a big pain too.
I don't know but it seems sleep issues are way worse now, April 2012, with everyone I talk to... suire are with me.
...

Well I see there has been no posts here "this year", as in 2012, so I thought I would introduce myself again now that I have had a diagnosis [and the experience!!] of Trigeminal Neuralgia.

I hope...
