[QUOTE="crazycatlady, post: 2197805, member: 60075"] My doc wants to try injections to the face if oral meds don't work. So far only tried 2 meds. Nortriptyline and Lyrica, Lyrica did not like me; the Nortrip the dose is up to 150mg at the moment. Being in constant pain if very physically draining. I get the 24/7 burning of ATN, then the 'zaps' on the lower left 2/3rds of my face and the entire right side of my face is affected including my scalp. The burning is like my face is being tattooed by a heavy handed artist who drags the needle too fast, I get the ice pick stabs in my ear and neck, and when my scalp flares it feels like being hit in the head with a damn crow bar. It's enough to make you stop in your tracks for a minute when the zaps hit, and after a night of that is normally when I am non verbal the following day. I feel like a neanderthal, communicating via pointing, grunting and writing notes in that damn crayon. I feel for you to see two women you care about go through it. It's rough on the family and friends as well. [/QUOTE]
