Who here takes benzodiazepines such as Valium and thinks that it makes your headaches worse or trigger pain?? I’m trying to figure out what has escalated in my headaches, I’ve been on Valium (low dose) daily for a year as a muscle relaxant…
It’s the only thing I can think of that I’ve changed other than getting older. 🥲

Hello, I’m in the process of trying to get Emgality covered through my insurance and they are saying they need a pre-oth from my doctor but then it came back saying that my option is to pay out a packet. I know my doctor mentioned it’s hard to get this med approved through your insurance, what steps did you guys have to take? I’ve only failed one medication. Am I supposed to fail other others?

Hi everybody, I haven’t been fully diagnosed with TN. I’ve had major pain on the sides of my nose (where glasses sit) which can migrate to my top teeth and to my eyebrows, check, jaw, even right ear. But most of the pain is on the sides of my nose. I have been cleared by ENT, who thought I needed gabapentin for a month but referred me to a neurologist. Neuro thinks it’s Trigeminal Autonomic cephalgia headache. This has been going on since January. So depressing. I have mild numbness on my cheek when the wind hits it but no pain, just some numbness. So a lot of my symptoms don’t fall under the typical trigeminal neuralgia.
