Glad that you got some relief....this is just a pimp but I can't resist....Maybe you should tell the hospital about ice packs, they might even start putting them on the patients forhead and skull base for discomfort !!!!......LOL - very loud!

I was able to fall back asleep and i slept till 10 am . I am feeling much better with some sleep.

I will be fine I just hate being up half the night.



zurich, heck I will give it a try ...I would hang upside down in in a clown suit from the ceiling if it would help....... :)

The strangest thing happened to me the last two nights.  I drink a lot of ice water.  10-12-16 glasses a day.  I was sitting by the Christmas Tree watching tv trying to 'not think about withdrawals' and noticed that my temperature was a 'little warm'.  So, I positioned myself in a way that I could place the glass of ice water on the base of my skull.  Low and behold - not only was it refreshing - but also, my headache and left hand pain went away.  I didn't even notice this until long after I started putting the ice on my neck.  Not sure if this will help - but it couldn't hurt.

I heard you through your post...wow - 87 days is not the time to cave in, but you know that....I had some luck with benadryl for sleep...maybe the aleve/zanflx and then a nice hot bath followed by a benadryl or two (up to 100mg) .... treat yourself well and best of luck

Hi Honey!

I am up too. I woke up with shooting pains down my left leg (sciatica). For me, the weather greatly effects my pain. It is very cold here and it is almost like my bones crunch up.

I hope your TMJ subsides soon. No cookies for you this weekend!!

Coffee in the am???
