Hi All,
I've had 3 years of pain getting worse and worse and saw dr after dr and had numerous mris, blood tests for thyroid, etc....
Finally went to a Rhumo and was diagnosed last month w fibro.
My grandma had it as well.
here's my question--- i only have the pain in my face-- its on both sides--- yet the right side is worse than the left. its from in back of my eyes (which causes dry eyes and i can no longer wear contacts) to going down my cheeks and then pain into my jaw.
the face pain is horrific-- but i have pain in no other part of my body.
Which is what gets me to wonder if its Fibro or Trigeminal Neuralgia (sp)-- even though they say that's only on one side of the face.
Can you only have Fibro pain in the face?
Thanks for any advice. The Dr put me on 60 mg of Cymbalta and I also use an infrared sauna at home-- unfortunately I'm not seeing any relief from either
