Dear you only need a study
and first let us do a very good and profitable exam; the MRI.
it will visualize almost all problems and thats how we can treeat a known entity
so do a brain MRI, I will wait for your results

Hi!
My name is heleen and i'm from belgium. I can't find good information on belgian sites, so i thought i might find it here.
I'm desperatly looking for an answer of my pain.
I will try to tell you my story in short..
Six months ago i got a viral infection, and since then it all got worse. I had some drama's in my life , someone young in my environment passed away very suddenly, problems at home etc.. I got very anxcious, depressive and started to show some hypochondric caracteristics.. I was so focust on all the negative and things in my body that i got many issues.. My neck started to hurt, and my throath. I did many examinations, they tested my blood, did an echo in my neck , but nothing was found.They always rejected me and send me home with painkillers. Months later, i was really getting in a black hole. My docter send me to a fysiotherapist, kinĂ©sist ( don't really know how you say it in english, i thing fysiotherapist..) She really helped me, and saw that i h ad some blockades in my neck. I had many triggerpoints in my neck, shoulder an jaw. I also had a disfunction in my jaw.. the sessions helped, but only for a few days,and then it came back. in my head i'm doing better now thanks to yoga , but the fysical pain is chronic. I have a really reallyunbairable pain .. In my jaw, deep in my ear, my neck, in my mouth, and sometimes headaches around my ear. And all on the right side of my face.. My bodytemperature is also a bit higher than before al the misery. It first was 36.7 now it's always round the 37.3 ..There aren't any painkillers that are working, so i have to live with the pain.After many searches on  the internet i think i have atypical facial pain. And now is my question, if you can give me some tips or so, or you can give me some information about this disease ? because sometimes getting up every day is a nightmare..And every help is welcome
Friendly Greetings from a desperate girl from a little country..
Heleen

Some more self esteem dear! Ok?
if you want to know the name of your entity, its PTSD.
If you want to start an 18 months treatment, start with Paroxetine 10 and increase to 20 and very unlikely you will need the dose of 30 (1 tab and a half).
start the medication for 4 days before sleeping evening, than switchto a morning regimen.
be in contact after 3 months.
Merci pour votre confidence en Medhelp
