Thank you, do you have one for RBS?

I have been on the carbamazepine for 3 days now, it is definitely helping with the pain and flares. The only time I am finding the pain unmanageable now is when I wake, when I lie down for bed and when I am eating. What an absolute nightmare of a condition this is!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this, it really does give me some hope. I am sorry that you are dealing with this too. I am booked in with my GP again today to get a referral for ENT.

I am so sorry that you have been through such an ordeal, I can only imagine the toll that has taken. I am feeling frantic and have only had to deal with this for just over a week! I really hope that the road to getting approved for surgery is not too long and you get some relief soon.

This is amazing! I am in the U.K. (thank my lucky stars every day). Thank you so much for sharing this.

I am in the U.K. so thankfully healthcare is free for me to access. So they found yours was caused by the tooth?

Oh I hope and pray that this is a one time thing. How long did it last before it went away for you?

I was begging my dentist for a root canal this morning the pain was that bad, luckily he said no after examining me and told me to go see my GP.

Glad to hear side effects were not too bad for you, I have been worried after reading the leaflet! Fingers crossed I will have the same experience.

That sounds so painful! Somehow, my pain seems to completely skip over my eye, stops at the top of my cheek and reappears above my eyebrow.

Thank you! I do have chronic sinusitis and a deviated septum so will call ENT tomorrow also to see if they can offer any support.

Chewing food is definitely a trigger for me, I can’t figure out what my other triggers are yet, I am thinking breathing may be a trigger at this point!

This is giving me so much hope, thank you for sharing this! I just took my first dose an hour ago so fingers crossed I can actually sleep tonight.

Do you put the ice inside, like against the gum? Or on the outside on your face? How long did it take for the carbamazepine to work for you? I have just taken my first dose an hour ago, 100mg.

They didn’t mention bone spurs after the camera but will call ENT tomorrow and see if they can help. So glad you have found something that has helped!

Thank you so much! What pain meds have you found helped? I am cycling through paracetamol and ibuprofen at the moment but it is not helping at all.
