Hi, I have also had this horrid condition. Well It is either cluster headache as one doc told me or Trigeminal neuralgia as another has said. I get random attacks and no one that hasnt had it could possibly appreciate the pain. Its just awful. I ususaly get put onto a 50MG dose of Tramadol which knocks me for 6 and means i cant function although it does take the edge off the pain.
If it gets really awful then i tend to go to A+E and wait for around 5 hours to be seen. they then stab me with a needle filled with steroids and the pain begins to subside. I dont have private health so im at the mersey of the NHS (No hospital spaces) lol.
I have had 5 or so attacks this year but none for over 3 months now. Work doesnt understand, my wife doesnt get it and its just the worst pain in the world.
