My new nerologist prescribed Tegretol for me yesterday. She said that I may be having Trigerminal Nuralgia instead of cluster headaches. The reason she came to this conclusion is that I have alot of pain up through my palett. She said that this leads her to think I actually have the Trigerminal Nuralgia. Anyway I feel I am really fortunate. I have had two great Dr. both young wemon with great brains. She also injected my shoulder with xzylocain (SPELLING)in two trigger points. I have known for a long time the trigger points have something to do with it. This was the wost attack I have had in 8 years of being chronic, and I feel great now. You might ask your Dr. May we be pain free !!!
