Any one here suffer from it?

I'm just having my first bout of it for 10 yrs and I forgot how bleedy painful it is..........can't sleep or eat.

Feel like my jaw on the right hand side is being dragged down by a 2 tonne cannon ball.

Doing Nurofen and paracetamol but am still getting 2 hrs pain between tablets.

Any advice most gratefully received xx

Oh dear Muffy.............I've never had it but it sounds ghastly.

Would heat help ?? as in a warm hot water bottle ?

Poor you..........I hope you can manage to sleep .

I've tried cold compresses and warm compresses Amanda and neither seem to do the trick

Did some jaw exercises earlier which I saw on google earlier..they helped a bit.......but not enough lol xx

I hope it was " gnashing of teeth " on here that sparked it off Muffy.

I do hope it feels better soon xx

Muffy,
I've pm'd some info to you. In the self help section of the website. It says to avoid hot & cold, as these can trigger your pain.

Steve.
