Dear Sally,
Do not mess with the emergency room. Get your niece to a neuro. Your niece is in pain. I to have tied things to my head to try and stop the pain. The pain is real and it hurts like hell. I shake my head and rock, cry, and scream. Just read the board and you will see the things we do. You want to know what I do well. I get on the floor and I rock back and fourth. I pray out loud. I count from 1 to a 100 out loud, hopeing to keep my mind off the pain. I have screamed, I cuss. I hit my head on the floor, I hit my head with my hands try to knock the pain out. I pull my hair. I put hot clothes on my face, I put ice on my face. I hit the floor with my hands. You name it I have done it. I have had them for 19 years. I am just now getting help for them. Thanks to this web sight. Please believe in your niece and believe the pain is for real. If someone took a knife and scraped the skin off your face slowly, then took that knife and stuck it in ever nerve in your face for a hour, I bet you would have a fit. I guess we all have fits but believe me we have a reason too. Hope this helps you understand. Please find her help.
